Psalm 42:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 My soul thirsteth for God, even for the living God: when shall I come and appear before the presence of God?
3 [a]Mine tears have been my meat day and night, while they daily say unto me, Where is thy God?
4 When I remembered [b]these things, I poured out my very heart, because I had gone with the multitude, and led them into the house of God with the voice of singing, and praise, as a multitude that keepeth a feast.
