Bless the Lord O my Soul
Psalm 42
As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
My tears have been my food
day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go to the house of God
under the protection of the Mighty One
with shouts of joy and praise
among the festive throng.
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.
I say to God my Rock,
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?”
My bones suffer mortal agony
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
Thank you Lord!

Awesome photograph! Where was that taken? Psalm 42 is a great one for reminding us who God is.
Thank you kindly, this is Hong Kong. May the Lord bless you richly in his word.
Ah, I wondered about that. I have never been there, but the mountain backdrop made me wonder. So many places yet to see, and so little time. LOL! God bless you too!

Thank you so much ~ Upvoted your introduction post, welcome to our steemit family ~ blessings! :)
Amen to this. God is with us till the end of time. this article is really a high spirited article which inspire those who feel lowly.
Thank you for the upvote. i really appreciate it. For the Glory of God.
I so thoroughly enjoyed reading this on the day the Lord has made (Sunday). Thank you for the inspirational passage and awesome picture.
It's been a rough time for me with having 6 surgeries the last 3 years and I have been unable to find work so I began travel blogging. With a lifetime of travels, pictures, and stories to share along with 20 years of professional hotel management experience I believe God is leading me to take this path of using today's technology and my knowledge to do his work by helping others travel and enjoy his (God's) beautiful World.
Praise be to God! May the Lord uplift and bless you as you bless others in your journey, upvoted your last post on travel, blessings!
