Psalms
42
- As the deer pants for streams of water, so
my soul pants for you, O God.
- My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God ?
- My tears have been my food day and night,
while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God ?"
- 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.
- 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. My soul is downcast within me; therefore
I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon--from
Mount Mizar.
- Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
- By day the LORD directs his love, at night
his song is with me -- a prayer to the God of my life.
- I say to God my Rock, "Why have you
forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy ?"
- My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt
me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God ?"
- 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.
