Psalms 42:1-3

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

To the choirmaster. A Maskil ^{▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term} of ^bthe Sons of Korah.

1 ^cAs a deer pants for flowing streams,
so pants my soul for you, O God.
2 ^dMy soul thirsts for God,
for ^ethe living God.
When shall I come and ^fappear before God? ^{▼▼Revocalization yields and see the face of God}
3 ^hMy tears have been my food
day and night,
ⁱwhile they say to me all the day long,
“Where is your God?”

Psalms 69:3

3 ^jI am weary with my crying out;
^kmy throat is parched.
^lMy eyes grow dim
with ^mwaiting for my God.

Psalms 119:81-83

Kaph

81 My soul ⁿlongs for your salvation;
I ^ohope in your word.
82 My ^peyes long for your promise;
I ask, ^q“When will you comfort me?”
83 For I have ^rbecome like a ^swineskin in the smoke,
yet I have not forgotten your statutes.

Psalms 143:7

7 ^tAnswer me quickly, O Lord!
^uMy spirit fails!
^vHide not your face from me,
^wlest I be like those who go down to the pit.

Song of Solomon 5:8

8 I ^xadjure you, O ^ydaughters of Jerusalem,
if you find my beloved,
that you tell him
^zI am sick with love.
