| 42:1 | To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so my soul panteth after thee, O God. | |
| 42:2 | My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? | |
| 42:3 | My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, Where thy God? | |
| 42:4 | When I remember these , I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy-day. | |
| 42:5 | Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him the help of his countenance. | |
| 42:6 | O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. | |
| 42:7 | Deep calleth to deep at the noise of thy water-spouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. | |
| 42:8 | the LORD will command his loving-kindness in the day-time, and in the night his song with me, my prayer to the God of my life. | |
| 42:9 | I will say to God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? | |
| 42:10 | with a sword in my bones, my enemies reproach me; while they say daily to me, Where thy God? | |
| 42:11 | Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, the health of my countenance, and my God. | |
