BSB Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Berean Study BibleEnglish Standard Version
1For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.1As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
2My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”3My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”
4These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.4These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.
5Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.5Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation
6O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—even from Mount Mizar.6and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
7Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.7Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.
8The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.8By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
9I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”9I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10Like the crushing of my bones, my enemies taunt me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”10As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”
11Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.11Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
