Psalms 42 — GNB

42Verse 1“BOOK II. For the leader of the music. A song of the sons of Korah.” As the hart panteth for the water-brooks, So panteth my soul for thee, O God!^{Verse 2}My soul thirsteth for God, the living God: When shall I come, and appear before God?^{Verse 3}My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me continually, “Where is thy God?”^{Verse 4}When I think of it, I pour out my soul in grief; How I once walked with the multitude, Walked slowly with them to the house of God, Amid sounds of joy and praise with the festive multitude!^{Verse 5}Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Him, my deliverer and my God!^{Verse 6}My soul is cast down within me, While I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermon, From the mountain Mizar.^{Verse 7}Deep calleth for deep at the noise of thy waterfalls; All thy waves and billows have gone over me!^{Verse 8}Once the LORD commanded his kindness by day, And by night his praise was with me,-Thanksgiving to the God of my life.^{Verse 9}Now I say to God, my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning on account of the oppression of the enemy?^{Verse 10}Like the crushing of my bones are the reproaches of the enemy, While they say to me continually, “Where is thy God?”^{Verse 11}Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Him, my deliverer and my God!
