Psalms 42:1-4

1As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God!

2I thirst for God, for the living God. I say, “When will I be able to go and appear in God’s presence?”

3I cannot eat, I weep day and night; all day long they say to me, “Where is your God?”

4I will remember and weep! For I was once walking along with the great throng to the temple of God, shouting and giving thanks along with the crowd as we celebrated the holy festival.
