Psalm 42

1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks,2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:3 My tears have been my food day and night,4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls:8 Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time;9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?10 As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me,11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

Psalm 43

1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:2 For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off?3 Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me:4 Then will I go unto the altar of God,5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

Psalm 44

1 We have heard with our ears, O God,2 Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand;3 For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword,4 Thou art my King, O God:5 Through thee will we push down our adversaries:6 For I will not trust in my bow,7 But thou hast saved us from our adversaries,8 In God have we made our boast all the day long,

9 But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor,10 Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary;11 Thou hast made us like sheep appointed for food,12 Thou sellest thy people for nought,13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors,14 Thou makest us a byword among the nations,15 All the day long is my dishonor before me,16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth,17 All this is come upon us;18 Our heart is not turned back,19 That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals,20 If we have forgotten the name of our God,21 Will not God search this out?22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long;23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face,25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust:26 Rise up for our help,
