Psalm 42

1. 1

   As the deer longs for the water-brooks, *
   so longs my soul for you, O God.

2. 2

   My soul is athirst for God, athirst for the living God; *
   when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?

3. 3

   My tears have been my food day and night, *
   while all day long they say to me, "Where now is your God?"

4. 4

   I pour out my soul when I think on these things; *
   how I went with the multitude and led them into the house of God,

5. 5

   With the voice of praise and thanksgiving, *
   among those who keep holy-day.

6. 6

   Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *
   and why are you so disquieted within me?

7. 7

   Put your trust in God; *
   for I will yet give thanks to him, who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

8. 8

   My soul is heavy within me; *
   therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan, and from the peak of Mizar among the heights of Hermon.

9. 9

   One deep calls to another in the noise of your cataracts; *
   all your rapids and floods have gone over me.

10. 10

    The LORD grants his loving-kindness in the daytime; *
    in the night season his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

11. 11

    I will say to the God of my strength, "Why have you forgotten me? *
    and why do I go so heavily while the enemy oppresses me?"

12. 12

    While my bones are being broken, *
    my enemies mock me to my face;

13. 13

    All day long they mock me *
    and say to me, "Where now is your God?"

14. 14

    Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *
    and why are you so disquieted within me?

15. 15

    Put your trust in God; *
    for I will yet give thanks to him, who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
