BOOK 2
For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.
As the deer pants for the water brooks, Psa 63:1-2Psa 143:6-7Psa 119:131Isa 26:8-9Psa 84:1-2Psa 48:1Psa 46:1Psa 85:1
so my soul pants after you, God. 1
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. Psa 63:1Psa 84:10Jhn 7:37Psa 27:4Rev 22:1Psa 36:8-9Psa 84:2Psa 84:4
When shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my food day and night, Psa 79:10Psa 115:2Jol 2:17Psa 42:10Psa 80:5Psa 102:9Mic 7:10Psa 79:12
while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, Isa 30:291Sa 1:15-16Psa 122:1Psa 62:8Job 29:2Nam 1:15Psa 100:4Psa 55:14
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.
Why are you in despair, my soul? Psa 37:7Heb 10:36-37Psa 61:2Mat 1:23Psa 27:13-14Lam 3:24-26Psa 56:3Psa 43:5
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God!
For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
My God, my soul is in despair within me. Psa 61:2Jon 2:7Deu 3:8-9Psa 43:42Sa 17:22Deu 4:47-48Mat 27:46Psa 22:1
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. Jon 2:3Psa 69:14-15Psa 88:7Lam 3:53-55Ezk 7:26Jer 4:20Job 1:14-19Psa 88:15-17
All your waves and your billows have swept over me.
The LORD 2 will command his loving kindness in the daytime. Psa 16:7Psa 149:5Psa 63:6Job 35:10Deu 28:8Act 16:25Col 3:3Psa 133:3
In the night his song shall be with me:
a prayer to the God of my life.
I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Psa 38:6Psa 18:2Psa 43:2Isa 40:27Lam 5:1-16Psa 28:1Psa 44:23-24Psa 62:2
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, Psa 42:3Jol 2:17Luk 2:35Pro 12:18Mic 7:10
while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
Why are you in despair, my soul? Psa 42:5Jer 30:17Jer 33:6Psa 43:5Mat 9:12
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God! For I shall still praise him,
the saving help of my countenance, and my God.
