(A)My soul thirsts for God, for the (B)living God.
When shall I come and [a]appear before God?
(C)My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
(D)“Where is your God?”

When I remember these things,
(E)I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
(F)I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

My soul thirsts(A) for God, for the living God.(B)
    When can I go(C) and meet with God?
My tears(D) have been my food
    day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
    “Where is your God?”(E)
These things I remember
    as I pour out my soul:(F)
how I used to go to the house of God(G)
    under the protection of the Mighty One[a]
with shouts of joy(H) and praise(I)
    among the festive throng.(J)
