BOOK TWO: Psalms 42—72 Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses

To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah.

1 As the deer1 pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God. 
2 aMy soul thirsts for God, for the bliving God.
When shall I come and1 appear before God? 
3 aMy tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
b“Where is your God?” 
4 When I remember these things,
aI pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
bI went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
