  1. Psalm 42-43: The Depressive’s Song

  2. Psalm 42 – part 1 • how I used to go to the house of God    under the protection of the Mighty Onewith shouts of joy and praise    among the festive throng. • 5 Why, my soul, are you downcast?    Why so disturbed within me?Put your hope in God,    for I will yet praise him,    my Saviour and my God. 1 As the deer pants for streams of water,    so my soul pants for you, my God.2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.    When can I go and meet with God?3 My tears have been my food    day and night,while people say to me all day long,    ‘Where is your God?’4 These things I remember    as I pour out my soul:

  3. Psalm 42 – part 2 • 9 I say to God my Rock,    ‘Why have you forgotten me?Why must I go about mourning,    oppressed by the enemy?’10 My bones suffer mortal agony    as my foes taunt me,saying to me all day long,    ‘Where is your God?’ • 11 Why, my soul, are you downcast?    Why so disturbed within me?Put your hope in God,    for I will yet praise him,    my Saviour and my God. 6 My soul is downcast within me;    therefore I will remember youfrom the land of the Jordan,    the heights of Hermon – from Mount Mizar.7 Deep calls to deep    in the roar of your waterfalls;all your waves and breakers    have swept over me. 8 By day the Lord directs his love,    at night his song is with me –    a prayer to the God of my life.

  4. Psalm 43 – part 3 • let them bring me to your holy mountain,    to the place where you dwell.4 Then I will go to the altar of God,    to God, my joy and my delight.I will praise you with the lyre,    O God, my God. • 5 Why, my soul, are you downcast?    Why so disturbed within me?Put your hope in God,    for I will yet praise him,    my Saviour and my God. 1 Vindicate me, my God,    and plead my cause    against an unfaithful nation.Rescue me from those who are    deceitful and wicked.2 You are God my stronghold.    Why have you rejected me?Why must I go about mourning,    oppressed by the enemy? 3 Send me your light and your faithful care,    let them lead me;
