Psalms 42 / 150
- 1( 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.
- 2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
- 3My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
- 4These 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.
- 5Why 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
- 6my 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.
- 7Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
- 8By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me- a prayer to the God of my life.
- 9I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?"
- 10My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
- 11Why 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.
