Psalms Chapter 42

1aTo the choirmaster.↑

For the sons of Korah, an Instructive Psalm.

1bAs a roebuck longs for brooks of water,

So my being longs for you, O God.

2My being thirsts for God

– For the living God.

When will I come

And see the face of God?

3A tear was my daily and nightly bread

When they said to me all day,

“Where is your God?”

4I will remember these things,

And I will pour out my soul over myself,

For I will pass through the crowd;

I will proceed softly with them to the house of God

With a joyful voice and thanksgiving,

As a multitude celebrates a festival.

5How you have been brought low, my spirit,

And have agitated me!

Await God,

For I will still praise him,

For his acts of salvation performed in his own presence.

6O God of mine, my spirit has been brought down low on me,

So I will remember you from the land of Jordan,

And the Hermons, from Mount Mizar.

7The deep calls to the deep

At the call of your water-surges;

All your breakers and waves have passed over me.

8By day the Lord will command his kindness,

And by night a song is with me

– A prayer to the God of my life.

9Let me say to God, my rock,

“Why have you forgotten me?

Why should I go about melancholically,

In the oppression of the enemy?”

10My adversaries reproach me with the crushing of my bones,

As they say to me all day long,

“Where is your God?”

11How you have been brought low, my spirit,

And how you have agitated me!

Await God,

For I will still praise him,

For the acts of salvation before me,

And for being my God.
