Psalm 42

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. A maskil of the descendants of Korach: Just as a deer longs for running streams, God, I long for you.

2 I am thirsty for God, for the living God! When can I come and appear before God?

3 My tears are my food, day and night, while all day people ask me, "Where is your God?"

4 I recall, as my feelings well up within me, how I'd go with the crowd to the house of God, with sounds of joy and praise from the throngs observing the festival.

5 My soul, why are you so downcast? Why are you groaning inside me? Hope in God, since I will praise him again for the salvation that comes from his presence.

6 My God, when I feel so downcast, I remind myself of you from the land of Yarden, from the peaks of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.

7 Deep is calling to deep at the thunder of your waterfalls; all your surging rapids and waves are sweeping over me.

8 By day ADONAI commands his grace, and at night his song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.

9 I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, under pressure by the enemy?

10 My adversaries' taunts make me feel as if my bones were crushed, as they ask me all day long, 'Where is your God?'"

11 My soul, why are you so downcast? Why are you groaning inside me? Hope in God, since I will praise him again for being my Savior and God.

New Living Translation NLT

1 As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God.

2 I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?

3 Day and night I have only tears for food, while my enemies continually taunt me, saying, “Where is this God of yours?”

4 My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be: I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God, singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of a great celebration!

5 Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and

6 my God! Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember you— even from distant Mount Hermon, the source of the Jordan, from the land of Mount Mizar.

7 I hear the tumult of the raging seas as your waves and surging tides sweep over me.

8 But each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life.

9 “O God my rock,” I cry, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies?”

10 Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, “Where is this God of yours?”

11 Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!
