Psalm 42:2-4
The Voice
2 I long for the True God who lives.
When can I stand before Him and feel His comfort?
3 Right now I’m overwhelmed by my sorrow and pain;
I can’t stop feasting on my tears.
People crowd around me and say,
“Where is your True God whom you claim will save?”
4 With a broken heart,
I remember times before
When I was with Your people. Those were better days.
I used to lead them happily into the True God’s house,
Singing with joy, shouting thanksgivings with abandon,
joining the congregation in the 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)
