Psalms 42:1-5

¹To the Overseer. — An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.

²My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?

³My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where is thy God?'

⁴These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!

⁵What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance — My God!
