Psalms 42:1-11 — Longing for God
Ps.42.1-11
1For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. 2As a deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. 3My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When will I come and appear before God? 4My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” 5These things I remember as I pour out my soul within me: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival. 6Why are you downcast, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God, for I will yet praise him, the salvation of his presence. 7O my God, my soul is downcast within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of the Hermons, from Mount Mizar . 8Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have swept over me. 9By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. 10I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk in mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” 11With a killing blow in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
