Psalm 42:2

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

¹ As the deer pants [longingly] for the water brooks,
So my soul pants [longingly] for You, O God.

My soul (my life, my inner self) thirsts for God, for the living God.
When will I come and see the face of God?
³
My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
