# Chapter 42
|
||
1 As a deer longs for flowing streams,
|
||
so I long for you, God.
|
||
2 I thirst for God, the living God.
|
||
When can I come and appear before God?
|
||
3 My tears have been my food day and night,
|
||
while all day long people say to me,
|
||
“Where is your God?”
|
||
4 I remember this as I pour out my heart:
|
||
how I walked with many,
|
||
leading the festive procession to the house of God,
|
||
with joyful and thankful shouts.
|
||
5 Why, my soul, are you so dejected?
|
||
Why are you in such turmoil?
|
||
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him,
|
||
my Savior and my God.
|
||
6 I am deeply depressed;
|
||
therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan
|
||
and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
|
||
7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;
|
||
all your breakers and your billows have swept over me.
|
||
8 The Lord will send his faithful love by day;
|
||
his song will be with me in the night—
|
||
a prayer to the God of my life.
|
||
9 I will say to God, my rock,
|
||
“Why have you forgotten me?
|
||
Why must I go about in sorrow
|
||
because of the enemy’s oppression?”
|
||
10 My adversaries taunt me,
|
||
as if crushing my bones,
|
||
while all day long they say to me,
|
||
“Where is your God?”
|
||
11 Why, my soul, are you so dejected?
|
||
Why are you in such turmoil?
|
||
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him,
|
||
my Savior and my God. |
