Psalm of Lament
As the deer pants for the water
So pants my soul for You, O God
My soul thirsts for You, for the living God
When shall I come before You?
I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear
And in the night I am not silent
My tears have been my food day and night
While they continually say to me
"Where is your God?"
I am poured out like water
My bones are out of joint
My heart is like wax that's melted within Me
My strength is all but depleted
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him (Hope in God)
For the help of His countenance
O my God, my soul is cast down within me; (Praise Him)
My soul is cast down within me
(O' my soul)
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime
And in the night His song shall be with me (O' my God)
A prayer to the God of my life
I will say to God my Rock, (God my Rock)
"Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"
As with a breaking of my bones
My enemies reproach me
While they say to me all day long
"Where is your God?"
So pants my soul for You, O God
My soul thirsts for You, for the living God
When shall I come before You?
I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear
And in the night I am not silent
My tears have been my food day and night
While they continually say to me
"Where is your God?"
I am poured out like water
My bones are out of joint
My heart is like wax that's melted within Me
My strength is all but depleted
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him (Hope in God)
For the help of His countenance
O my God, my soul is cast down within me; (Praise Him)
My soul is cast down within me
(O' my soul)
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime
And in the night His song shall be with me (O' my God)
A prayer to the God of my life
I will say to God my Rock, (God my Rock)
"Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"
As with a breaking of my bones
My enemies reproach me
While they say to me all day long
"Where is your God?"
