Psalm 42:1-2

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

BOOK II

Longing for God and His Help in Distress

To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah.

42 ^[a]As a hart longs
    for flowing streams,
so longs my soul
    for thee, O God.
²My soul thirsts for God,
    for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
    the face of God?
