Psalm 42
Lamsa Bible Par ▾ 
1AS the hart pants after the water brook so pants my soul after thee, O LORD.

2My soul thirsts after thee, O living God; when shall I come to see thy face?

3My tears have been my bread day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is your God?

4When I remember these things, my soul is agitated; therefore I will enter thy mighty citadel, even to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the many people who rejoice.

5Why are you troubled, O my soul? and why are you bewildered? Trust in God; for I shall yet praise him, the Saviour of my honour and my God.

6My soul is troubled within me; therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, from the mount of Hermon and from the hill.

7Deep calls to deep at the sound of thy waterfalls: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

8Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer to the living God.

9I will say to God, Why hast thou forsaken me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of my enemies?

10When my bones are broken, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is your God?

11Why are you disturbed, O my soul? and why are you bewildered? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, the Saviour of my honor and my God.
