Psalm
42
1
As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God!
2
I thirst for God, for the living God. I say, "When will I be able to go and appear in God's presence?"
3
I cannot eat, I weep day and night; all day long they say to me, "Where is your God?"
4
I will remember and weep! For I was once walking along with the great throng to the temple of God, shouting and giving thanks along with the crowd as we celebrated the holy festival.
5
Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.
6
I am depressed, so I will pray to you while I am trapped here in the region of the upper Jordan, from Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
7
One deep stream calls out to another at the sound of your waterfalls; all your billows and waves overwhelm me.
8
By day the LORD decrees his loyal love, and by night he gives me a song, a prayer to the living God.
9
I will pray to God, my high ridge: "Why do you ignore me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?"
10
My enemies' taunts cut into me to the bone, as they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
11
Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.
43
1
Vindicate me, O God! Fight for me against an ungodly nation! Deliver me from deceitful and evil men!
2
For you are the God who shelters me. Why do you reject me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?
3
Reveal your light and your faithfulness! They will lead me, they will escort me back to your holy hill, and to the place where you live.
4
Then I will go to the altar of God, to the God who gives me ecstatic joy, so that I express my thanks to you, O God, my God, with a harp.
5
Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.
