Psalm 42
For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.
1 As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so I long for you, God.w
2 I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I come and appear before God?x
3 My tears have been my food day and night,
while all day long people say to me,
“Where is your God?”y
4 I remember this as I pour out my heart:z
how I walked with many,
leading the festive procession to the house of God,
with joyful and thankful shouts.aa
5 Why, my soul, are you so dejected?
Why are you in such turmoil?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him,
my Savior and my God.ab
6 I* am deeply depressed;
therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan
and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.ac
7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your breakers and your billows have swept over me.a
8 The Lord will send his faithful love by day;b
his song will be with me in the night—
a prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God, my rock,c
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?”d
as if crushing my bones,
while all day long they say to me,
“Where is your God?”e
11 Why, my soul, are you so dejected?
Why are you in such turmoil?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him,
my Savior and my God.f

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
