| BOOK 2. (Ps.42-72) Lament of an Exile. Psalm 42(v41) | |||
| 1 | As a hart longs for flowing streams, so longs my soul for thee, O God. | ||
| 2 | My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God? | ||
| 3 | My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me continually, "Where is your God?" | ||
| 4 | These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I went with the throng, and led them in procession to the house of God, with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival. | ||
| 5 | Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God. | ||
| 6 | My soul is cast down within me, therefore I remember thee from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. | ||
| 7 | Deep calls to deep at the thunder of thy cataracts; all thy waves and thy billows have gone over me. | ||
| 8 | By day the LORD commands his steadfast love; and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. | ||
| 9 | I say to God, my rock: "Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?" | ||
| 10 | As with a deadly wound in my body, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me continually, "Where is your God?" | ||
| 11 | Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God. | ||
