42:1 As the deer desires rivers of water, so my soul desires You, O God.
42:2 My soul is thirsty for God, for the living God. When will I come and meet with God?
42:3 My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
42:4 These things I remember, and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with many people and lead them to the house of God, with the voice of thankful joy, among the many happy people.
42:5 Why are you sad, O my soul? Why have you become troubled within me? Hope in God, for I will praise Him again for His help of being near me.
42:6 O my God, my soul is troubled within me. So I remember You from the land of the Jordan and the tops of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
42:7 Sea calls to sea at the sound of Your waterfalls. All Your waves have rolled over me.
42:8 The Lord will send His loving-kindness in the day. And His song will be with me in the night, a prayer to the God of my life.
42:9 I will say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I have sorrow because those who hate me come against me with power?”
42:10 As a breaking of my bones, those who hate me speak sharp words to me. All day long they say to me, “Where is your God?”
42:11 Why are you sad, O my soul? Why have you become troubled within me? Hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my help and my God.
