Psalm 42Longing for God
|
|
|
|
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.
