^2 (A)My soul thirsts for God, for the ^(B)living God.
When shall I come and ^[a]appear before God?
^3 (C)My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
^(D)“Where is your God?”

⁴ Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And on the harp I will praise You,
O God, my God.
