Psalm 42:2-4
New Living Translation
2 I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I go and stand before him?
3 Day and night I have only tears for food,
while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,
“Where is this God of yours?”
4 My heart is breaking
as I remember how it used to be:
I walked among the crowds of worshipers,
leading a great procession to the house of God,
singing for joy and giving thanks
amid the sound of a great celebration!
Psalm 42:2-4
New International Version
2 My soul thirsts(A) for God, for the living God.(B)
When can I go(C) and meet with God?
3 My tears(D) have been my food
day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”(E)
4 These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:(F)
how I used to go to the house of God(G)
under the protection of the Mighty One[a]
with shouts of joy(H) and praise(I)
among the festive throng.(J)
