42:1  As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God.

42:2  My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?

42:3  My tears have been my food day and night, While {they} say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

42:4  These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng {and} lead them in procession to the house of God, With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

42:5  Why are you in despair, O my soul? And {why} have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him {For} the help of His presence.

42:6  O my God, my soul is in despair within me; Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

42:7  Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.

42:8  The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life.

42:9  I will say to God my rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

42:10  As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile me, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

42:11  Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
