Deprivation and Restoration: Hoping in the Lord

My soul thirsts for the living God. 
My tears have been my food day and night, 
while they say to me all the day long, 
"Where is your God?"
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
Create in me a clean heart O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not away your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore me to the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.
And my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
