Psalm 42:1-3 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹As the deer pants for streams of water,

so my soul longs after You, O God.

²My soul thirsts for God, the living God.

When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?

³My tears have been my food

both day and night,

while men ask me all day long,

“Where is your God?”
