Book TwoWhy Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 42
|
|
1. As a deer pants for flowing streams,
|
|
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 say to me all the day long,
|
|
"Where is your God?"
|
|
|
|
4. These things I remember,
|
|
as I pour out my soul:
|
|
how I would go with the throng
|
|
|
|
and lead them in procession to the house of God
|
|
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
|
|
a multitude keeping festival.
|
|
|
|
5. Why are you cast down, O my soul,
|
|
and why are you in turmoil within me?
|
|
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
|
|
my salvation
|
|
6. and my God.
|
|
My soul is cast down within me;
|
|
therefore I remember you
|
|
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
|
|
from Mount Mizar.
|
|
|
|
7. Deep calls to deep
|
|
at the roar of your waterfalls;
|
|
all your breakers and your waves
|
|
have gone over me.
|
|
|
|
8. By day the LORD commands his steadfast love,
|
|
and at night his song is with me,
|
|
a prayer to the God of my life.
|
|
|
|
9. I 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 deadly wound in my bones,
|
|
my adversaries taunt me,
|
|
while they say to me all the day long,
|
|
"Where is your God?"
|
|
|
|
11. Why are you cast down, O my soul,
|
|
and why are you in turmoil within me?
|
|
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
|
|
my salvation and my God.
