Tehillim 42:2-4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
2 (3) My nefesh thirsteth for Elohim, for El Chai. When shall I come and appear before Elohim [in the Beis Hamikdash]?
3 (4) My tears have been my lechem yomam valailah, while they continually say unto me, Where is Eloheicha?
4 (5) When I remember these things, I pour out my nefesh within me; for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the Beis Elohim with the voice of rinnah and todah, with the multitude keeping Chag (holy day, pilgrim feast).

2 My soul thirsts(A) for God, for the living God.(B)
When can I go(C) and meet with God?

day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”(E)
4 These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:(F)
how I used to go to the house of God(G)
under the protection of the Mighty One[a]
with shouts of joy(H) and praise(I)
among the festive throng.(J)
