24. Psalm 42

As the hart panteth after the water brooks,
as the hart panteth after the water brooks,
so panteth my soul, so panteth my soul after Thee,
O God, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth, my soul thirsteth, thirsteth for God,
for the living God, for the living God.
When shall I come, when shall I come and appear before God?
When shall I come, when shall I come and appear before God?
