Psalms 42:1-6 ▼

1 For the one directing. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, O God.

2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before the face of God?

3 My tears have been to me as bread, day and night, in the saying to me all the day, “Where is your God?”

4 These things I remember, and I pour out my soul within myself: How I crossed over with the throng; I moved with them up to the house of God, with the voice of shouting and praise, with a multitude keeping the feast.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and in commotion within me? Wait for God, for still I will praise Him, for the salvation of His face.

6 O My God, my soul is downcast within me; upon thus I remember You, from the land of the Jordan and Hermon, from the mount of Mizar.
