‏ Psalms 42

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

To the choirmaster. A Maskil ▼
▼Probably a musical or liturgical term
 of bthe Sons of Korah.

1 cAs a deer pants for flowing streams,
so pants my soul for you, O God.
 2 dMy soul thirsts for God,
for ethe living God.
When shall I come and fappear before God? ▼
▼Revocalization yields  and see the face of God

 3 hMy tears have been my food
day and night,
iwhile they say to me all the day long,
“Where is your God?”
 4These things I remember,
as I jpour out my soul:
khow I would go lwith the throng
and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
ma multitude keeping festival.
 5 nWhy are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you oin turmoil within me?
pHope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation ▼
▼Hebrew the salvation of my face; also verse 11 and 43:5
 6and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I rremember you
sfrom the land of Jordan and of tHermon,
from Mount Mizar.
 7Deep calls to deep
at the roar of your waterfalls;
uall your breakers and your vwaves
have gone over me.
 8By day the Lord wcommands his steadfast love,
and at xnight his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
 9I say to God, ymy rock:
“Why have you forgotten me?
zWhy do I go mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?”
 10As with a deadly wound in my bones,
my adversaries taunt me,
aawhile they say to me all the day long,
“Where is your God?”
 11 abWhy are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.
