Psalms - Chapter 42

For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.   1

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?   2

My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"   3

These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng.   4

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and 6 my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon,from Mount Mizar.   5

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.   6

By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.   7

I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?"   8

My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?"   9

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.   10
