Psalms 42

For the Music Director. A Contemplative Maskil of the sons of Korah.

1As the deer pants for the water brooks,

so my soul pants for You, O God.

2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. # Ps 63:1; 84:2

When shall I come and appear before God?

3My tears have been my food # Ps 80:5

day and night,

while they continually say to me,

“Where is your God?” # Ps 79:10

4When I remember these things,

I pour out my soul within me. # Ps 62:8

For I would go with the throng of people,

and lead them in procession to the house of God, # Isa 30:29

with the voice of joy and praise,

a multitude keeping festival.

5Why are you cast down, O my soul?

And why are you disquieted within me?

Hope in God,

for I shall again praise Him # Ps 42:11; 43:5

for the help of His presence.

6O my God, my soul is cast down within me;

therefore I remember You

from the land of Jordan, # Dt 3:8–9; 2Sa 17:22

and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

7Deep calls to deep

at the thunder of Your waterfalls;

all Your waves and Your billows

have gone over me. # Ps 88:7; Jon 2:3

8The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,

and in the night His song will be with me, # Job 35:10; Ps 63:6

a prayer to the God of my life.

9I will say to God, my rock, # Ps 18:2

“Why have You forgotten me?

Why do I go mourning # Ps 38:6

because of the oppression of the enemy?”

10As a shattering of my bones,

my enemies reproach me,

while they say to me all day long,

“Where is your God?” # Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17

11Why are you cast down, O my soul?

And why are you disquieted within me?

Hope in God;

for I shall again praise Him,

my salvation and my God. # Ps 42:5; 43:5
