For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.1Ch 6:22; 1Ch 9:19; 1Ch 26:1
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
so my soul pants after you, God.42:1 The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?Psa 84:2
My tears have been my food day and night,
while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house,
with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.Job 30:16
Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God!
For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.Psa 43:5
My God, my soul is in despair within me.
Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.
Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.
All your waves and your billows have swept over me.Psa 69:2
The LORD42:8 When rendered in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, “LORD” or “GOD” is the translation of God’s Proper Name (Hebrew “יהוה”, usually pronounced Yahweh). will command his loving kindness in the daytime.
In the night his song shall be with me:
a prayer to the God of my life.Psa 119:62
I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”Psa 38:6
As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me,
while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God! For I shall still praise him,
the saving help of my countenance, and my God.Psa 43:5
