Psalms 42

1 For the end,a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Core. As the hart earnestly desires the fountainsof water, so my soul earnestly longs for you, O God.
2 My soul has thirsted for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been bread to me day and night, while they daily said to me, Whereis your God?
4 I remembered these things, and poured out my soul in me, for I will go to the placeof your wondrous tabernacle,even to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and thanksgiving and of the sound of thosewho keep festival.
5 Wherefore are you very sad, O my soul? and wherefore do you trouble me? hope inGod; for I will give thanks to him;he is the salvation of my countenance.
6 O my God, my soul has been troubled within me: therefore will I remember you fromthe land of Jordan, and of the Ermonites, from the little hill.
7 Deep calls to deep at the voice of your cataracts: all your billows and your waveshave gone over me.
8 By day the Lord will command his mercy, and manifestit by night: with meis prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God, You are my helper; why have you forgotten me? wherefore do Igo sad of countenance, while the enemy oppressesme?
10 While my bones were breaking, they that afflicted me reproached me; while theysaid to me daily, Where is your God?
11 Wherefore are you very sad, O my soul? and wherefore do you trouble me? hope inGod; for I will give thanks to him;he is the health of my countenance, and my God.
