Psalms • Chapter 42
1
For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of the sons of Korah. As a deer longs for flowing streams, so I long for you, God (Elohim).
2
I am thirsty for God (Elohim), the living God (Elohim). When can I go and see God (Elohim)'s face?
3
My tears have been my only food, day and night, while people ask me all day long, “Where is your God (Elohim)?”
4
I am crushed as I remember how I walked with the crowds, leading them in a procession to the house of God (Elohim), with shouts of joy and songs of thanks among the worshipers at the festival.
5
Why am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God (Elohim); I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—
6
my God (Elohim)! Even though I am very discouraged, I still remember you: from the land of Jordan and Hermon, and from Mount Mizar.
7
You thunder through the raging waters, through the noise of the waterfalls. Your crashing waves surge over me—I feel like I'm drowning.
8
But every day the Lord shows me his trustworthy love; every night he gives me songs to sing—a prayer to the God (Elohim) of my life.
9
I cry out, “My God (Elohim), my rock, why have you forgotten me? Why must I go around weeping because of the attacks of my enemies?”
10
The mocking of my attackers crushes my bones. They're always asking me, “Where is your God (Elohim)?”
11
Why am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God (Elohim); I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—my God (Elohim)!
