1Como el ciervo brama por las corrientes de las aguas, Así clama por ti, oh Dios, el alma mía.
2Mi alma tiene sed de Dios, del Dios vivo; ¿Cuándo vendré, y me presentaré delante de Dios?
3Fueron mis lágrimas mi pan de día y de noche, Mientras me dicen todos los días: ¿Dónde está tu Dios?
4Me acuerdo de estas cosas, y derramo mi alma dentro de mí; De cómo yo fui con la multitud, y la conduje hasta la casa de Dios, Entre voces de alegría y de alabanza del pueblo en fiesta.
5¿Por qué te abates, oh alma mía, Y te turbas dentro de mí? Espera en Dios; porque aún he de alabarle, Salvación mía y Dios mío.
6Dios mío, mi alma está abatida en mí; Me acordaré, por tanto, de ti desde la tierra del Jordán, Y de los hermonitas, desde el monte de Mizar.
7Un abismo llama a otro a la voz de tus cascadas; Todas tus ondas y tus olas han pasado sobre mí.
8Pero de día mandará Jehová su misericordia, Y de noche su cántico estará conmigo, Y mi oración al Dios de mi vida.
9Diré a Dios: Roca mía, ¿por qué te has olvidado de mí? ¿Por qué andaré yo enlutado por la opresión del enemigo?
10Como quien hiere mis huesos, mis enemigos me afrentan, Diciéndome cada día: ¿Dónde está tu Dios?
11¿Por qué te abates, oh alma mía, Y por qué te turbas dentro de mí? Espera en Dios; porque aún he de alabarle, Salvación mía y Dios mío.
