Psalm 42

*To the chief Musician, ||Maschil, *for †the sons of Korah. 1 As the hart †panteth after athe water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2 bMy soul thirsteth for God, for cthe living God: When shall I come and ccappear before God? 3 dMy tears have been my meat day and night, eWhile they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 4 When I remember these things, fI pour out my soul in me: For I had gone with the multitude, I gwent with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. 5 hWhy art thou †cast down, O my soul? and hwhy art thou idisquieted in me? jHope thou in God: for I shall yet ||kpraise him ||For the help of his countenance. 6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee lFrom the land of Jordan, and of the mHermonites, from ||the hill Mizar. 7 nDeep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy owaterspouts: pAll thy qwaves and thy billows are gone over me. 8 Yet the Lord will rcommand his lovingkindness in the daytime, And sin the night his song shall be with me, And my prayer unto the God of my life. 9 I will say unto God tmy rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? uWhy go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 10 As with a ||sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; eWhile they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 11 xWhy art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, Who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Psalm 43

1 aJudge me, O God, and bplead my cause against an ||ungodly nation: O deliver me †from the deceitful and unjust man. 2 For thou art cthe God of my strength: why dost thou dcast me off? eWhy go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; Let them bring me unto fthy holy hill, and to ffthy tabernacles. 4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, Unto God †my exceeding joy: Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. 5 gWhy art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, Who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
