Psalm 42:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. As a deer pants for flowing streams,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 foodday and night, while they say to me all the day long,“Where is your God?”

4. These things I remember,as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throngand lead them in procession to the house of Godwith glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.
