For April the 7th 2013

4/7/13

Psa 42:1  To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.

Psa 42:2  My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

Psa 42:3  My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, "Where is your God?"

Psa 42:4  These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.

Psa 42:5  Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation

Psa 42:6  and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

Psa 42:7  Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.

Psa 42:8  By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

Psa 42:9  I say to God, my rock: "Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

Psa 42:10  As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, "Where is your God?"

Psa 42:11  Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

Some of what life has for us can cause us to be in turmoil, but then we must realize that our hope is in God, the God of our salvation!
