Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

To the choirmaster. A Maskil[a] of the Sons of Korah.


42 As a deer pants for flowing streams,
so pants my soul for you, O God.

2
My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?


3


My tears have been my food


day and night,


while they say to me all the day long,


“Where is your God?”



4


These things I remember,


as I pour out my soul:


how I would go with the throng


and lead them in procession to the house of God


with glad shouts and songs of praise,


a multitude keeping festival.





5


Why are you cast down, O my soul,


and why are you in turmoil within me?


Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,


my salvation[c] 6 and my God.




My soul is cast down within me;


therefore I remember you


from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,


from Mount Mizar.



7


Deep calls to deep


at the roar of your waterfalls;


all your breakers and your waves


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 have you forgotten me?


Why do I go mourning


because of the oppression of the enemy?”



10


As with a deadly wound in my bones,


my adversaries taunt me,


while they say to me all the day long,


“Where is your God?”





11


Why are you cast down, O my soul,


and why are you in turmoil within me?


Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,


my salvation and my God.




Footnotes:


a.Psalm 42:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term


b.Psalm 42:2 Revocalization yields and see the face of God


c.Psalm 42:5 Hebrew the salvation of my face; also verse 11 and 43:5
