Psalm 42
New King James Version
BOOK TWO
Psalms 42–72
Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses
To the Chief Musician. A [a]Contemplation of the sons of Korah.
42 As the deer [b]pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 (A)My soul thirsts for God, for the (B)living God.
When shall I come and [c]appear before God?
3 (C)My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
(D)“Where is your God?”
4 When I remember these things,
(E)I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
(F)I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5 (G)Why are you [d]cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
(H)Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
[e]For the help of His countenance.
6 [f]O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From [g]the Hill Mizar.
7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
(I)All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8 The Lord will (J)command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And (K)in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God my Rock,
(L)“Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As with a [h]breaking of my bones,
My enemies [i]reproach me,
(M)While they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
11 (N)Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The [j]help of my countenance and my God.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Hangad ng Taong Lumapit sa Piling ng Panginoon
42 Tulad ng usang sa tubig ng ilog ay nasasabik,
O Dios, ako sa inyoʼy nananabik.
2 Akoʼy nauuhaw sa inyo, Dios na buhay.
Kailan pa kaya ako makakatayo sa presensya nʼyo?
3 Araw-gabiʼy, luha ko lang ang pagkain ko,
habang sinasabi sa akin ng aking mga kaaway,
“Nasaan na ang Dios mo?”
4 Sumasama ang loob ko kapag naaalala ko na dati ay pinangungunahan ko ang maraming tao na pumupunta sa templo.
At kami ay nagdiriwang, sumisigaw sa kagalakan at nagpapasalamat sa inyo.
5 Bakit nga ba ako nalulungkot at nababagabag?
Dapat magtiwala ako sa inyo.
Pupurihin ko kayong muli, aking Dios at Tagapagligtas!
6-7 Nanghihina ang loob ko.
Akoʼy parang tinabunan nʼyo ng malalaking alon,
na umuugong na parang tubig sa talon.
Kaya dito ko muna kayo inaalala sa paligid ng Ilog ng Jordan at Hermon, sa Bundok ng Mizar.
8 Sa araw, Panginoon, ipinapakita nʼyo ang inyong pag-ibig.
Kaya sa gabi, umaawit ako ng aking dalangin sa inyo,
O Dios na nagbigay ng buhay ko.
9 O Dios, na aking batong kanlungan, akoʼy nagtatanong,
“Bakit nʼyo ako kinalimutan?
Bakit kinakailangan pang magdusa ako sa pang-aapi ng aking mga kaaway?”
10 Para bang tumatagos na sa aking mga buto ang pang-iinsulto ng aking mga kaaway.
Patuloy nilang sinasabi, “Nasaan na ang Dios mo?”
11 Bakit nga ba ako nalulungkot at nababagabag?
Dapat magtiwala ako sa inyo.
Pupurihin ko kayong muli, aking Dios at Tagapagligtas!
