Psalm 42

As a deer is thirsty for water, in the same way, I am thirsty for you, God.

Day and night, I have been
crying in my bed.

People are saying, “Where is your God?”

I talk to myself saying, “Why am I so sad?

I should put my trust in God.

I should keep praising Him, even when
I do not feel like it!”

Troubles have come again and again. Your waves are crashing all around me.

At night I have a song, and I
pray to my living God.

I say to God, my Rock,  
“It feels like You forgot me!

I have trouble from my enemies
and even demons!”

This makes me feel like my
bones are broken.

They are always saying,
“Where is your God?”

I will show them where my God is!

I will sing and praise Your name and forget about my enemies! Give me a new song to sing to You and
everything will be good again!
