AS the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.

2 My soul thirst for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God ?

3 My tears have been my food day and night. When shall I come and appear before God ?

4 When I remember these things , I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude ; I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

5 Why are you cast down , O my soul ? And why are you disquieted within me ? Hope 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 I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, and from the heights of Hermaon, from the Hill MIzar.

7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls ; all Your waves and billows have gone over me.

8 The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,and in the night His song shall be within me - a prayer to the God of my life.

9 I will say to God my Rock, " Why have You forgotten me ? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

10 As with a breaking of my bones, my enemies reproach me, while they say to me all day long, " Where is your God ? "

11 Why are you cast down , O my soul ? And why are you disquieted within me ? Hope in God ; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countance and my God.Psalm 42
