Psalm 42

Psalm 43

Quemadmodum

As the deer longs for the water-brooks, *

so longs my soul for you, O God.

My soul is athirst for God, athirst for the living God; *

when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?

My tears have been my food day and night, *

while all day long they say to me,
“Where now is your God?”

⁴

I pour out my soul when I think on these things; *

how I went with the multitude and led them into the house of God,

⁵

With the voice of praise and thanksgiving, *

among those who keep holy-day.

⁶

Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *

and why are you so disquieted within me?

⁷

Put your trust in God; *

for I will yet give thanks to him,
who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

⁸

My soul is heavy within me; *

therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan,
and from the peak of Mizar among the heights of Hermon.

⁹

One deep calls to another in the noise of your cataracts; *

all your rapids and floods have gone over me.

¹⁰

The Lord grants his loving-kindness in the daytime; *

in the night season his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.

¹¹

I will say to the God of my strength,
“Why have you forgotten me? *

and why do I go so heavily while the enemy oppresses me?”

¹²

While my bones are being broken, *

my enemies mock me to my face;

¹³

All day long they mock me *

and say to me, “Where now is your God?”

¹⁴

Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *

and why are you so disquieted within me?

¹⁵

Put your trust in God; *

for I will yet give thanks to him,
who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Psalms

Jubilate Deo

Be joyful in God, all you lands; *

sing the glory of his Name;
sing the glory of his praise.

Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! *

because of your great strength your enemies cringe before you.

All the earth bows down before you, *

sings to you, sings out your Name.”

⁴

Come now and see the works of God, *

how wonderful he is in his doing toward all people.

⁵

He turned the sea into dry land,
so that they went through the water on foot, *

and there we rejoiced in him.

⁶

In his might he rules for ever;
his eyes keep watch over the nations; *

let no rebel rise up against him.

⁷

Bless our God, you peoples; *

make the voice of his praise to be heard;

⁸

Who holds our souls in life, *

and will not allow our feet to slip.

⁹

For you, O God, have proved us; *

you have tried us just as silver is tried.

¹⁰

You brought us into the snare; *

you laid heavy burdens upon our backs.

¹¹

You let enemies ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water; *

but you brought us out into a place of refreshment.

¹²

I will enter your house with burnt-offerings
and will pay you my vows, *

which I promised with my lips
and spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble.

¹³

I will offer you sacrifices of fat beasts
with the smoke of rams; *

I will give you oxen and goats.

¹⁴

Come and listen, all you who fear God, *

and I will tell you what he has done for me.

¹⁵

I called out to him with my mouth, *

and his praise was on my tongue.

¹⁶

If I had found evil in my heart, *

the Lord would not have heard me;

¹⁷

But in truth God has heard me; *

he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

¹⁸

Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer, *

nor withheld his love from me.

Deus misereatur

May God be merciful to us and bless us, *

show us the light of his countenance and come to us.

Let your ways be known upon earth, *

your saving health among all nations.

Let the peoples praise you, O God; *

let all the peoples praise you.

⁴

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, *

for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide all the nations upon earth.

⁵

Let the peoples praise you, O God; *

let all the peoples praise you.

⁶

The earth has brought forth her increase; *

may God, our own God, give us his blessing.

⁷

May God give us his blessing, *

and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.

O Lord, make us have perpetual love and reverence for your holy Name, for you never fail to help and govern those whom you have set upon the sure foundation of your loving-kindness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
