BOOK TWOPsalms 42–72Yearning for God in the Midst of DistressesTo the Chief Musician. A [a]Contemplation of the sons of Korah.1As the deer [b]pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and [c]appear before God?
3My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, “Where is your God?”
4When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5Why are you [d]cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him [e]For the help of His countenance.
6[f]O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From [g]the Hill Mizar.
7Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.
9I will say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10As with a [h]breaking of my bones, My enemies [i]reproach me, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
11Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The [j]help of my countenance and my God. The Holy Bible, New King James Version, Copyright © 1982 Thomas Nelson. All rights reserved.
