1 AS the dry Hart for water-brooks, In thirst doth [fainting] pant and bray, So after thee, my gracious God, My [thirsty] soul doth pant and pray.
2 My soul for God, the living God Doth thirst, [O when] when shall I come, And in his house before my God Appear [with joy] as I have done.
3 My flowing tears have been to me As [bitter] food both night and day, While with reproach continually, [To me] where is thy God, they say?
4 My soul is poured out in me, When this I [sadly] think upon, How I with the glad multitude Unto God's [sacred] house have gone. I went with them to worship God With [joined] voice of joy and praise, Even with the multitude that kept [In peace] God's solemn holy days.
