BOOK 2

PSALM 42

My Soul Thirsts for God

For the choir director. A [fn]Maskil of the sons of Korah.

As the deer [fn]pants for the water brooks,

So my soul [fn]pants for You, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;

When shall I come and [fn]appear before God?

My tears have been my food day and night,

While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me.

For I used to go along with the throng and [fn]lead them in procession to the house of God,

With the sound of a shout of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

Why are you [fn]in despair, O my soul?

And why are you disturbed within me?

Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,

[fn]For the [fn]salvation of His presence.

O my God, my soul is [fn]in despair within me;

Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan

And the [fn]peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;

All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.

By day, Yahweh will command His lovingkindness;

And by night, His song will be with me,

A prayer to the God of my life.

I say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?

Why do I go mourning [fn]because of the oppression of the enemy?”

10 As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries reproach me,

While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

11 Why are you [fn]in despair, O my soul?

And why are you disturbed within me?

Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,

The salvation of my presence and my God.
