2My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:

When shall I come and appear before God?

3My tears have been my food day and night,

While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

4These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,

How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God,

With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

When shall I come and appear before God?

with glad shouts and songs of praise,

a multitude keeping festival.

how I walked with many,

leading the festive procession to the house of God,

with joyful and thankful shouts.

I thirst for God, the living God.

When can I go and stand before him?

Day and night I have only tears for food,

while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,

“Where is this God of yours?”

I walked among the crowds of worshipers,

leading a great procession to the house of God,

singing for joy and giving thanks

amid the sound of a great celebration!

that I would go with the multitude;

I led them in procession to the house of God,

with a voice of rejoicing and thanksgiving,

a crowd celebrating a festival.

While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

For I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God,

With the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
