Chapter 42  
     
1.
 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
  
2.
 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
  
3.
 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
  
4.
 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
  
5.
 Why art you cast down, O my soul? and why art you disquieted in me? hope you 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 will I remember you from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
  
7.
 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
  
8.
 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
  
9.
 I will say unto God my rock, Why have you forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
  
10.
 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
  
11.
 Why art you cast down, O my soul? and why art you disquieted within me? hope you in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
