Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God.
My soul is thirsting for God,
the God of my life;
when can I enter and see the face of God.
These things I remember as I pour out my soul:
how I would lead the rejoicing crowd
in the house of God,
amidst cries of gladness and thanksgiving,
the throng wild with joy.
O send forth your light and your truth;
let these be my guide.
Let them bring me to your holy mountain,
to the place where you dwell.
And I will come to the altar of God,
the God of my joy.
My redeemer, I will thank you on the harp,
O God, my God.
