Psalms, Psalm 42, verses 1-5

As the deer^apants for the water brooks,
So my soul^bpants for You, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;
When shall I come and^cappear before God?

My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

⁴

These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go along with the throng and^dlead them in procession to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

⁵

Why are you^ein despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
^fHope in God, for I shall^gagain praise^hHim
For theⁱhelp of His presence.
