² As the deer longs for streams of water,^(A)
    so my soul longs for you, O God.
³ My soul thirsts for God, the living God.
    When can I enter and see the face of God?^[a](B)

² O God, you are my God—
    it is you I seek!
For you my body yearns;
    for you my soul thirsts,
In a land parched, lifeless,
    and without water.^(A)
3 I look to you in the sanctuary
    to see your power and glory.

⁶ I stretch out my hands toward you,
    my soul to you like a parched land.^(A)
Selah

⁹ My soul yearns for you at night,
    yes, my spirit within me seeks you at dawn;
When your judgment comes upon the earth,
    the world’s inhabitants learn justice.^(A)
