Abyssus abyssum vocat

[1] As a hart longs
for flowing streams,
so longs my soul
for thee, O God.
[2] My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God?
[3] My tears have been my food
day and night,
while men say to me continually,
"Where is your God?"
[4] These things I remember,
as I pour out my soul:
how I went with the throng,
and led them in procession to the house of God,
with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving,
a multitude keeping festival.
[5] Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help
[6] and my God.
My soul is cast down within me,
therefore I remember thee
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
from Mount Mizar.
[7] Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of thy cataracts;
all thy waves and thy billows
have gone over me.
[8] By day the LORD commands his steadfast love;
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
[9] I say to God, my rock:
"Why hast thou forgotten me?
Why go I mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?"
[10] As with a deadly wound in my body,
my adversaries taunt me,
while they say to me continually,
"Where is your God?"
[11] Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God.

2 Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquarum: ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.
3 Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fortem vivum: quando veniam, et apparebo ante faciem Dei?
4 Fuerunt mihi lacrimae meae panis die ac nocte: dum dicitur mihi cotidie: Ubi est Deus tuus?
5 Haec recordatus sum, et effudi in me animam meam: quoniam transibo in loco tabernaculi admirabilis, usque ad domum Dei.
In voce exultationis, et confessionis: sonus epulantis.
6 Quare tristis es, anima mea? et quare conturbas me?
Spera in Deo, quoniam confitebor illi: salutare vultus mei,
7et Deus meus.
Ad meipsum anima mea conturbata est: propterea memor ero tui de terra Iordanis, et Hermoniim a monte modico.
8 Abyssus ad abyssum invocat, in voce cataractarum tuarum.
Omnia excelsa tua, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
9 In die mandavit Dominus misericordiam suam et nocte canticum eius.
Apud me oratio Deo vitae meae,
10 dicam Deo: susceptor meus es.
Quare oblitus es mei? et quare contristatus incedo, dum affligit me inimicus?
11 Dum confringuntur ossa mea, exprobraverunt mihi qui tribulant me inimici mei.
Dum dicunt mihi per singulos dies: Ubi est Deus tuus?
12 quare tristis es, anima mea? et quare conturbas me?
Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi: salutare vultus mei, et Deus meus.
