Psalms 42:1

מַה־תִּשְׁתּ֬וֹחֲחִ֨י ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ וּֽמַה־תֶּהֱמִ֢י עָ֫לָ֥י הוֹחִ֣ילִי לֵ֭אלֹהִים כִּי־ע֣וֹד אוֹדֶ֑נּוּ יְשׁוּעֹ֥ת פָּ֝נַ֗י וֵאלֹהָֽי׃

Why so downcast, my soul, why disquieted within me? Have hope in Hashem; I will yet praise Him, my ever-present help, my God.

Lyrics:
ke’ayal ta’arog al afeekay mayeem
As the deer longs for brooks of water

ken nafshee ta’arog eh-lekha elokeem
so my soul longs for You, O God.

tzamah nafshee la’elokeem l’el khai
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God

matai avoh ve’erah-eh p’nei elokeem
when shall I come and appear before God?
