[:en]Thoughts from Psalm 42[:]

[:en]David described his feelings during his hour of need:

“As the deer pants for streams of water so my soul pants for you, O God.  My soul thirsts for God, for the living God, When can I go and meet with God? (vs. 1-2)

He questioned himself :  Why are you downcast, O my soul?  Why so disturbed within me? (vs. 5a and 11a)

His answer:  Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.  (vs. 5b and 11b)[:]
