Psalms 42
BOOK II : Psalms 42-72
1
For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah.
(F75)
(F76) As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
3 My tears have been my food
day and night,
while men say to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"
4 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.
5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? 6 my God. 7 Deep calls to deep 8 By day the LORD directs his love, 9 I say to God my Rock, 10 My bones suffer mortal agony 11 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 soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon-from Mount Mizar.
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
at night his song is with me-
a prayer to the God of my life.
"Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?"
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
