Psalm 42
ISV Parallel HCSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
1As an antelope pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, God.1 For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, God.
2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When may I come and appear in God's presence?2I thirst for God, the living God. When can I come and appear before God?
3My tears have been my food day and night, while people keep asking me all day long, "Where is your God?"3My tears have been my food day and night, while all day long people say to me," Where is your God?"
4These things I will recall as I pour out my troubles within me: I used to go with the crowd in a procession to the house of God, accompanied with shouts of joy and thanksgiving.4I remember this as I pour out my heart: how I walked with many, leading the festive procession to the house of God, with joyful and thankful shouts.
5Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for once again I will praise him, since his presence saves me.5Why am I so depressed? Why this turmoil within me? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God.
6My God, my soul feels depressed within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan, from the heights of Hermon, even from the foothills. 6I am deeply depressed; therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
7Deep waters call out to what is deeper still; at the roar of your waterfalls all your breakers and your waves swirled over me.7Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and Your billows have swept over me.
8By day the LORD will command his gracious love, and by night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.8The LORD will send His faithful love by day; His song will be with me in the night-- a prayer to the God of my life.
9I will ask God, my Rock, "Why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?"9I will say to God, my rock," Why have You forgotten me? Why must I go about in sorrow because of the enemy's oppression?"
10Like the shattering of my bones are the taunts of my oppressors, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?"10My adversaries taunt me, as if crushing my bones, while all day long they say to me," Where is your God?"
11Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for once again I will praise him, since his presence saves me and he is my God.11Why am I so depressed? Why this turmoil within me? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God.
