Psalm 42:1-4 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. A deer longs for streams of water. God, I long for you in the same way.

2. I am thirsty for God. I am thirsty for the living God. When can I go and meet with him?

3. My tears have been my food day and night. All day long people say to me, "Where is your God?"

4. When I remember what has happened, I tell God all of my troubles. I remember how I used to walk along with the crowd of worshipers. I led them to the house of God. We shouted with joy and gave thanks as we went to the holy feast.
