Chapter 42

The prophet aspireth after the temple and altar of God.

1. 1

   A psalm for David.

2. 2

   For thou art God, my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful, whilst the enemy afflicteth me?

3. 3

   Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.

4. 4

   And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.

5. 5

   To thee, O God, my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?

6. 6

   Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
