Psalm 41 — The Holy Bible

For the End; for understanding; for the sons of Korah.

As the deer longs for the springs of waters,

So my soul longs for You, O God.

My soul thirsts for the living God;

When shall I come and appear before the face of God?

My tears were my bread day and night,

When they said to me each day, “Where is your God?”

I remembered these things, and poured out my soul within me;

For I shall enter the place of the wondrous tabernacle, even the house of God,

To celebrate a festival with a voice of great joy and praise.

Why are you so sad, O my soul?

And why do you trouble me?

Hope in God, for I will give thanks to Him;

My God is the salvation of my countenance.

My soul within me was troubled;

Therefore I will remember You

From the land of the Jordan and Hermon,

From the small mountain.

Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;

All Your waves and billows went over me.

By day the Lord shall command His mercy,

And by night His ode will be with me,

A prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God, “You are my protector.

Why have You forgotten me?

Why do I go about with a sad face when my enemies afflict me?”

Those who afflict me revile me when they break my bones,

When they speak to me each day, saying, “Where is your God?”

Why are you so sad, O my soul?

And why do you trouble me?

Hope in God, for I will give thanks to Him.

My God is the salvation of my countenance.
