Edition notes: There is some contention over the text: some people believe 'ad Deum fortem' should read 'ad Deum foNtem'. Both make sense. The Vulgate gives 'fortem'. There is a relevant discussion here: https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/17254/text-change-/p1

Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fortem vivum;
quando veniam et apparebo ante faciem Dei mei?
Quis dabit mihi pennas sicut columbae,
et volabo et requiescam?

English.png English translation

My soul thirsts for God who is great and ever-living;
When shall I come and appear before the face of my God?
Who will give me wings like a dove,
and I shall fly and be at rest?
Ps.42 and Ps.55
