Psalms 42 — DBY

To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.

42Verse 1As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O^°God.
^{Verse 2}My soul thirsteth for^°God, for the living^*God: when shall I come and appear before^°God?
^{Verse 3}My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy^°God?
^{Verse 4}These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of^°God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.
^{Verse 5}Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in^°God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance.
^{Verse 6}My^°God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.
^{Verse 7}Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
^{Verse 8}In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the^*God of my life.
^{Verse 9}I will say unto^*God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
^{Verse 10}As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy^°God?
^{Verse 11}Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in^°God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my^°God.
