Psalms 42:1-7 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. A deer thirsts for a stream of water.In the same way, I thirst for you, God.

2. I thirst for the living God.When can I go to meet with him?

3. Day and night, my tears have been my food.People are always saying,“Where is your God?”

4. When I remember these things,I speak with a broken heart.I used to walk with the crowd.I led the happy crowd to God’s Temple,with songs of praise.

5. Why am I so sad?Why am I so upset?I should put my hope in God.I should keep praising him,My Savior and

6. my God.I am very sad.So I remember you while I am in the land where the Jordan River begins.I will remember you while I am near the Hermon mountainsand on the mountain of Mizar.

7. Troubles have come again and again.They sound like waterfalls.Your waves are crashingall around me.
