Salmos 42

BOOK TWO: Psalms 4272

Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses

To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah.

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?"

4 When I remember these things,

1 Sam. 1:15; Job 30:16I pour out my soul within me.

For I used to go with the multitude;

Ps. 55:14; 122:1; Is. 30:29I went with them to the house of God,

With the voice of joy and praise,

With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

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.

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me;

Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,

And from the heights of Hermon,

From the Hill Mizar.

7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;

Ps. 69:1, 2; 88:7; Jon. 2:3All Your waves and billows have gone over me.

8 The Lord will Deut. 28:8command His lovingkindness in the daytime,

And Job 35:10; Ps. 149:5in the night His song shallbe with me

A prayer to the God of my life.

9 I will say to God my Rock,

Ps. 38:6"Why have You forgotten me?

Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

10 As with a breaking of my bones,

My enemies reproach me,

Ps. 42:3; Joel 2:17; Mic. 7:10While they say to me all day long,

"Where is your God?"

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.
