Psa42 - HOLY BIBLE

Psalms – Chapter 42

¹For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites.

²As the deer longs for streams of water,

so my soul longs for you, O God.

³My soul thirsts for God, the living God.

When can I enter and see the face of God?

⁴My tears have been my bread day and night,

as they ask me every day, “Where is your God?”

⁵Those times I recall

as I pour out my soul,

When I would cross over to the shrine of the Mighty One,

to the house of God,

Amid loud cries of thanksgiving,

with the multitude keeping festival.

⁶Why are you downcast, my soul;

why do you groan within me?

Wait for God, for I shall again praise him,

my savior and my God.

⁷My soul is downcast within me;

therefore I remember you

From the land of the Jordan and Hermon,

from Mount Mizar,

⁸Deep calls to deep

in the roar of your torrents,

and all your waves and breakers

sweep over me.

⁹By day may the LORD send his mercy,

and by night may his righteousness be with me!

I will pray to the God of my life,

¹⁰I will say to God, my rock:

“Why do you forget me?

Why must I go about mourning

with the enemy oppressing me?”

¹¹It shatters my bones, when my adversaries reproach me,

when they say to me every day: “Where is your God?”

¹²Why are you downcast, my soul,

why do you groan within me?

Wait for God, for I shall again praise him,

my savior and my God.
