Psalm 42

Revised Version 1895

BOOK II.

For the Chief Musician; Maschil of the sons of Korah.

1As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2My soulH5315 thirsteth for GodH430, for the livingH5315 GodH430: when shall I come and appear beforeH413 GodH430?

3My tears have been my meat day and night, whileH5315 they continually say unto meH5315, Where is thy GodH430?

4TheseH3605 things I remember, and pour outH413 my soul withinH413 meH413, how I wentH413 with the throng, and led them to the house of GodH430, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

5WhyH3588 art thou castH8210 downH428, O my soulH5315? and whyH3588 art thou disquieted withinH5921 meH5315? hope thou in GodH430: for I shall yet praiseH8426 him for the health of his countenance.

6O my GodH430, my soulH5315 is cast downH7817 withinH5921 meH5315: therefore doH4100 I remember thee from the landH6440 of Jordan, and the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over meH5315.

8Yet the LORD will commandH5921 his lovingkindness in the day-time, and in the night his song shall be with meH413, evenH5921 a prayer unto the GodH413 of my life.

9I will say unto GodH410 my rock, Why hast thou forgotten meH5973? why go I mourning becauseH5973 of the oppression of the enemy?

10As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach meH7911; while they continually sayH559 unto meH7911, WhereH4100 is thy GodH410?

11Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted withinH413 meH413? hope thou in GodH430: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my GodH430.
