George Lamsa Translation

Psalms 42

1 AS the hart pants after the water brook so pants my soul after thee, O LORD.2 My soul thirsts after thee, O living God; when shall I come to see thy face?3 My tears have been my bread day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is your God?4 When I remember these things, my soul is agitated; therefore I will enter thy mighty citadel, even to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the many people who rejoice.5 Why are you troubled, O my soul? and why are you bewildered? Trust in God; for I shall yet praise him, the Saviour of my honour and my God.

6 My soul is troubled within me; therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, from the mount of Hermon and from the hill.7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of thy waterfalls: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer to the living God.9 I will say to God, Why hast thou forsaken me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of my enemies?10 When my bones are broken, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is your God?11 Why are you disturbed, O my soul? and why are you bewildered? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, the Saviour of my honor and my God.
