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?
³ My tears^(G) have been my food
    day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
    “Where is your God?”^(H)

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)
