American Standard Version

Psalm 42:1-5 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2. My soul thirsteth 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 unto me, Where is thy God?

4. These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

5. 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 For the help of his countenance.
