Psm42:1 To the Overseer. -- An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.
Psm42:2 My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?
Psm42:3 My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?'
Psm42:4 These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!
Psm42:5 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance -- My God!
Psm42:6 In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
Psm42:7 Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.
Psm42:8 By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song [is] with me, A prayer to the God of my life.
Psm42:9 I say to God my rock, `Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?
Psm42:10 With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?'
Psm42:11 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
Psm42:12 Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,
