      Psalm 42 (Listen)

      Book Two

      Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

      42:1   As a deer pants for flowing streams,
          so pants my soul for you, O God.
      2   My soul thirsts for God,
          for the living God.
        When shall I come and appear before God?2
      3   My tears have been my food
          day and night,
        while they say to me all the day long,
          “Where is your God?”
      4   These things I remember,
          as I pour out my soul:
        how I would go with the throng
          and lead them in procession to the house of God
        with glad shouts and songs of praise,
          a multitude keeping festival.
      5   Why are you cast down, O my soul,
          and why are you in turmoil within me?
        Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
          my salvation3 6 and my God.
        My soul is cast down within me;
          therefore I remember you
        from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
          from Mount Mizar.
      7   Deep calls to deep
          at the roar of your waterfalls;
        all your breakers and your waves
          have gone over me.
      8   By day the LORD commands his steadfast love,
          and at night his song is with me,
          a prayer to the God of my life.
      9   I say to God, my rock:
          “Why have you forgotten me?
        Why do I go mourning
          because of the oppression of the enemy?”
      10   As with a deadly wound in my bones,
          my adversaries taunt me,
        while they say to me all the day long,
          “Where is your God?”
      11   Why are you cast down, O my soul,
          and why are you in turmoil within me?
        Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
          my salvation and my God.

      Psalm - 42:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term
      Psalm - 42:2 Revocalization yields and see the face of God
      Psalm - 42:5 Hebrew the salvation of my face; also verse 11 and 43:5

      Yardwork and the Antichrist

      The Antichrist offers another continual presence. It is every whisper that tempts us toward autonomy, that tells us to carry it alone, that insists suffering is meaningless.
