PS-42:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.

As the hart

panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O

God.

PS-42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when

shall I come and

appear before God?

PS-42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they

continually say

unto me, Where [is] thy God?

PS-42:4 When I remember these [things], I pour out my soul in me:

 for I had

gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God,

with the voice

of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

PS-42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou

disquieted in

me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the help

of his

countenance.

PS-42:6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will

I remember

thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the

hill Mizar.

PS-42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:

all thy waves

and thy billows are gone over me.

PS-42:8 [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the

daytime, and in

the night his song [shall be] with me, [and] my prayer unto the

God of my

life.

PS-42:9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?

why go I

mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

PS-42:10 [As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me;

 while they

say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God?

PS-42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou

disquieted within

me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the

health of my

countenance, and my God.
