The conflict in the soul of a believer

«To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of the sons of Korah.» Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God. For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
My soul is dry for need of God, the living God; when may I come and see the face of God? My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my food day and night, while they keep saying to me, Where is your God? My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast. These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God. Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
My soul is crushed down in me, so I will keep you in mind; from the land of Jordan and of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar. My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.
Deep is sounding to deep at the noise of your waterfalls; all your waves have gone rolling over me. Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.
But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life. Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.
I will say to God my Rock, Why have you let me go from your memory? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters? I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God? As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God. Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.
