42:1 (A special psalm by the clan of Korah and for the music leader.) As a deer gets thirsty for streams of water, I truly am thirsty for you, my God.
42:2 In my heart, I am thirsty for you, the living God. When will I see your face?
42:3 Day and night my tears are my only food, as everyone keeps asking, “Where is your God?”
42:4 Sorrow floods my heart, when I remember leading the worshipers to your house. I can still hear them shout their joyful praises.
42:5 Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I should trust you, Lord. I will praise you again because you help me,
42:6 and you are my God. I am deeply discouraged, and so I think about you here where the Jordan begins at Mount Hermon and at Mount Mizar.
42:7 Your vicious waves have swept over me like an angry ocean or a roaring waterfall.
42:8 Every day, you are kind, and at night you give me a song as my prayer to you, the God of my life.
42:9 You are my mighty rock. Why have you forgotten me? Why must enemies mistreat me and make me sad?
42:10 Even my bones are in pain, while all day long my enemies sneer and ask, “Where is your God?”
42:11 Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I trust you, Lord! And I will praise you again because you help me, and you are my God.
