# Chapter 42
|
|
1 As the deer pants for the water brooks,
|
|
So pants my soul for You, O God.
|
|
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
|
|
When shall I come and appear before God?
|
|
3 My tears have been my food day and night,
|
|
While they continually say to me,
|
|
“Where is your God?”
|
|
4 When I remember these things,
|
|
I pour out my soul within me.
|
|
For I used to go with the multitude;
|
|
I went with them to the house of God,
|
|
With the voice of joy and praise,
|
|
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
|
|
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
|
|
And why are you disquieted within me?
|
|
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
|
|
For the help of His countenance.
|
|
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
|
|
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
|
|
And from the heights of Hermon,
|
|
From the Hill Mizar.
|
|
7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
|
|
All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
|
|
8 The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
|
|
And in the night His song shall be with me—
|
|
A prayer to the God of my life.
|
|
9 I will say to God my Rock,
|
|
“Why have You forgotten me?
|
|
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
|
|
10 As with a breaking of my bones,
|
|
My enemies reproach me,
|
|
While they say to me all day long,
|
|
“Where is your God?”
|
|
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
|
|
And why are you disquieted within me?
|
|
Hope in God;
|
|
For I shall yet praise Him,
|
|
The help of my countenance and my God. |
