¹ As the deer^(A) pants for streams of water,^(B)
    so my soul pants^(C) for you, my God.
² My soul thirsts^(D) for God, for the living God.^(E)
    When can I go^(F) and meet with God?

¹ You, God, are my God,
    earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,^(A)
    my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
    where there is no water.^(B)

⁴ Then I will go^(A) to the altar^(B) of God,
    to God, my joy^(C) and my delight.^(D)
I will praise you with the lyre,^(E)
    O God, my God.
