The words of Psalm 42

1 -[For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.] As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.
2 -My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?
3 -My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”
4 -These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.
5 -Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.
6 -O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—even from Mount Mizar.
7 -Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.
8 -The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.
9 -I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”
10 -Like the crushing of my bones, my enemies taunt me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
11 -Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
