PSAL. XLII.

[1]

Like as the hart for water-brooks

in thirst doth pant and bray;
So pants my longing soul, O God,
that come to thee I may.

2

My soul for God, the living God,

doth thirst, when shall I near
Unto thy countenance approach,
and in Gods sight appear?

3

My tears have unto me been meat,

both in the night and day,
While unto me continually,
Where is thy God, they say?

4

My soul is poured out in me,

when this I think upon;
Because that with the multitude
I heretofore had gone:
With them into Gods house I went,
with voice of joy and praise,
Yea, with the multitude, that kept
the solemn holy dayes.

5

O why art thou cast down my soul,

why in me so dismaid?
Trust God, for I shall praise him yet,
his countenance is mine aid.

6

My God, my soul's cast down in me:

thee therefore minde I wil
From Jordans land, the Hermonites,
and ev'n from Mizar hil.

7

At the noise of thy water spouts,

deep unto deep doth call.
Thy breaking waves passe over me,
yea, and thy billows all.

8

His loving kindnesse yet the Lord

command wil in the day,
His song's with me by night to God,
by whom I live, I'le pray

9

And I wil say to God, my rock,

why me forgets thou so?
Why for my foes oppression,
thus mourning do I go?

10

It's as a sword within my bones,

when my foes me upbraid:
Ev'n when by them, Where is thy God,
it's daily to me said?

11

O why art thou cast down, my soul?

why, thus with grief opprest?
Art thou disquieted in me?
in God stil hope and rest;
For yet I know I shal him praise,
who graciously to me
The health is of my countenance,
yea, mine own God is he.
