| The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000. | | The Psalms | | 42 |
Thirsting for God |
| To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. |
|
| 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 Her'monites, 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 loving-kindness in the daytime,
| | |
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. |
