Psalm 42.
Psalm 42 (GNT)
1 "As a deer longs for a stream of cool water, so I long for you, O
God. 2 I thirst for you, the living God. When can I go and worship in
your presence? 3 Day and night I cry, and tears are my only food; all
the time my enemies ask me, "Where is your God?" 4 My heart breaks
when I remember the past, when I went with the crowds to the house of
God and led them as they walked along, a happy crowd, singing and
shouting praise to God. 5 Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I
will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior
and my God. 6-7 Here in exile my heart is breaking, and so I turn my
thoughts to him. He has sent waves of sorrow over my soul; chaos roars
at me like a flood, like waterfalls thundering down to the Jordan from
Mount Hermon and Mount Mizar. 8 May the LORD show his constant love
during the day, so that I may have a song at night, a prayer to the
God of my life. 9 To God, my defender, I say, "Why have you forgotten
me? Why must I go on suffering from the cruelty of my enemies?" 10 I
am crushed by their insults, as they keep on asking me, "Where is your
God?" 11 Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in
God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God."
God bless you.
