The Prayer of Someone in Exile[ac]

42As a deer longs for a stream of cool water, so I long for you, O God.H5329H4905H1121H7141H354H6165H4325H650H6165H5315H430 2I thirst for you, the living God. When can I go and worship in your presence?H5315H6770H430H2416H410H935H7200H6440H430 3Day and night I cry, and tears are my only food; all the time my enemies ask me, "Where is your God?"H1832H3899H3119H3915H3117H559H430 4My heart breaks when I remember the past, when I went with the crowds to the house of God and led them as they walked along, a happy crowd, singing and shouting praise to God.H2142H8210H5315H5674H5519H1718H1004H430H6963H7440H8426H1995H2287 5Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.H7817H5315H1993H3176H430H3034H3444H6440 6Here in exile my heart is breaking, and so I turn my thoughts to him.H430H5315H7817H2142H776H3383H2769H2022H4706 7He has sent waves of sorrow over my soul; chaos roars at me like a flood, like waterfalls thundering down to the Jordan from Mount Hermon and Mount Mizar.H8415H7121H8415H6963H6794H4867H1530H5674 8May the LORD show his constant love during the day, so that I may have a song at night, a prayer to the God of my life.H3068H6680H2617H3119H3915H7892H8605H410H2416 9To God, my defender, I say, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go on suffering from the cruelty of my enemies?"H559H410H5553H7911H3212H6937H3906H341 10I am crushed by their insults, as they keep on asking me, "Where is your God?"H7524H6106H6887H2778H559H3117H430 11Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.H7817H5315H1993H3176H430H3034H3444H6440H430
