Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God?
