42:1 As an antelope pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, God.
42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When may I come and appear in God's presence?
42:3 My tears have been my food day and night, while people keep asking me all day long, "Where is your God?"
42:4 These things I will recall as I pour out my troubles within me: I used to go with the crowd in a procession to the house of God, accompanied with shouts of joy and thanksgiving.
42:5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for once again I will praise him, since his presence saves me.
42:6 My God, my soul feels depressed within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan, from the heights of Hermon, even from the foothills.
42:7 Deep waters call out to what is deeper still; at the roar of your waterfalls all your breakers and your waves swirled over me.
42:8 By day the LORD will command his gracious love, and by night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.
42:9 I will ask God, my Rock, "Why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?"
42:10 Like the shattering of my bones are the taunts of my oppressors, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
42:11 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for once again I will praise him, since his presence saves me and he is my God.
