Psalm 42

As the pear pants for the water
so my soul pants after you. O GOD.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God
when shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my meat day and night,
while they continually say to me, Where is they God?
When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me;
for I had gone with the multitude,
I went with them to the house of God,
with the voice of joy and praise,
with a multitude that kept holyday.
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
and why are you disquieted in me?
hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him
for the help of his countenance.
O, my God, my soul is cast down within me:
therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan,
and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
Deep calls unto deep
at the noise of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness
in the daytime,
and in the night his song shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the God of my life.
I will say unto God my rock,
Why have you forgotten me?
why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
As with a sword in my bones,
my enemies reproach me;
while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
and why are you disquieted within me?
hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my countenance,
and my God.
