Psalm 42 / As the hart longs for flowing streams [#Psalm42 #AlsTheHartLongsForFlowingStreams]
Song based on the Bible verses:
Psalm 42:1-11
1
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
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 continually say to me,
“Where is your God?”
4
When I remember these things,
I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.
6
O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From the Hill Mizar.
7
Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.
9
I will 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 breaking of my bones,
My enemies reproach me,
While they say to me all day long,
“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 yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

1
As the hart longs for flowing streams
So longs my soul for Thee O God
My soul does thirst for the living God
When shall I come to see Thy face
2
My tears have fed me day and night
While men have said where is your God
But I recall as my soul pours dry
The days of praise within Thy house
3
Why do I mourn and toil within
When it is mine to hope in God
I shall again sing praise to Him
He is my help He is my God
