Psalms Chapter 42 (ESV)

undefined As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
undefined My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
undefined My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”
undefined 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.
undefined 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
undefined 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.
undefined Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.
undefined By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
undefined I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
undefined 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?”
undefined 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.
