Lyrics:

Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks,
so longeth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul is athirst for God, yea even for the living God.
When shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
My tears have been my meat day and night,
while they daily say unto me, “Where is now thy God?”

Notes: SATB with Tenor and Bass divisi and Soprano solo [or Soprano divisi].
