Psalm 42:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 My soul (A)thirsts for God, for the (B)living God;
When shall I come and [a](C)appear before God?
3 My (D)tears have been my food day and night,
While they (E)say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
4 I remember these things and (F)pour out my soul within me.
For I (G)used to go over with the multitude and walk them to the house of God,
With a voice of (H)joy and thanksgiving, a multitude celebrating a festival.
