Psalms 42
1
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
2
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
3
My tears have been my food day and night,
4
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
5
Why are you in despair, my soul?
6
My God, my soul is in despair within me.
7
Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.
8
The LORD will command his loving kindness in the daytime.
9
I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me?
10
As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me,
11
Why are you in despair, my soul?
