psalms 42
1 - As the deer pants for the water brooks,so my soul pants after you, 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 ask me, "Where is your God?"
4 - These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God's house,with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
5 - Why are you in despair, my soul?Why are you disturbed within me?Hope in God!For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
6 - My God, my soul is in despair within me.Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan,the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.
7 - Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.All your waves and your billows have swept over me.
8 - Yahwe h will command his loving kindness in the daytime.In the night his song shall be with me:a prayer to the God of my life.
9 - I will ask God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"
10 - As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me,while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"
11 - Why are you in despair, my soul?Why are you disturbed within me?Hope in God! For I shall still praise him,the saving help of my countenance, and my God.
