| Chapter 42 |
1 |
As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul after you, God. |
2 |
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? |
3 |
My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually ask me, "Where is your God?" |
4 |
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I used to go with the crowd, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day. |
5 |
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence. |
6 |
My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, The heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar. |
7 |
Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me. |
8 |
Yahweh will command his lovingkindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: A prayer to the God of my life. |
9 |
I will ask God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?" |
10 |
As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, While they continually ask me, "Where is your God?" |
11 |
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, The saving help of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 43 |
