Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses
1 As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 Ps. 63:1; 84:2; 143:6; (Jer. 10:10)My soul thirsts for God, for the Rom. 9:26; 1 Thess. 1:9living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
3 Ps. 80:5; 102:9My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
Ps. 79:10; 115:2; Joel 2:17; Mic. 7:10"Where is your God?"
5 Ps. 42:11; 43:5Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Ps. 71:14; Lam. 3:24Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.
11 Ps. 43:5Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.
