Psalms 42
King James Version

1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks,
so panteth my soul after thee, O God.​
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:
when shall I come and appear before God?​
3 My tears have been my meat day and night,
while they continually say unto me,
Where is thy God?​

4 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.​

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
and why art thou disquieted in me?
hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him
for the help of his countenance.​

6 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.​
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.​
8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time,
and in the night his song shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the God of my life.​

9 I will say unto God my rock,
Why hast thou forgotten me?
why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?​
10 As with a sword in my bones,
mine enemies reproach me;
while they say daily unto me,
Where is thy God?​

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,
who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
