Scripture: Psalm 42<\/strong>
As the deer\u00a0pants for streams of water,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0so my soul pants\u00a0for you, my God.
My soul thirsts\u00a0for God, for the living God.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0When can I go\u00a0and meet with God?
My tears\u00a0have been my food day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWhere is your God?\u201d
These things I remember as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go to the house of God
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0under the protection of the Mighty One
with shouts of joy\u00a0and praise
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0among the festive throng.
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Why so disturbed\u00a0within me?
Put your hope in God,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0for I will yet praise\u00a0him,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0my Savior\u00a0and my God.
My soul is downcast within me;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0therefore I will remember\u00a0you
from the land of the Jordan,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0the heights of Hermon
\u2014from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0have swept over me.
By day the\u00a0Lord\u00a0directs his love,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0at night\u00a0his song\u00a0is with me\u2014
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0a prayer to the God of my life.
I say to God my Rock: \u201cWhy have you forgotten\u00a0me?
Why must I go about mourning, oppressed\u00a0by the enemy?\u201d
My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt\u00a0me,
saying to me all day long, \u201cWhere is your God?\u201d
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0for I will yet praise him,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0my Savior and my God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a portion of Psalm 104:<\/strong> God the Creator and Provider
Stand in wonder, O my soul, before the Eternal.
Holy One, my God, you are vast beyond measure.
You stretch out the sky like a cloth,
You make winds your messengers,
You have steadied the earth on its foundation.
It will not collapse for all time.
The mountains rise up, the valleys split open
to the very place you prepared.
You established a boundary that water cannot transgress.
It will not return again to cover the earth.
You water the mountains from above.
From the fruit of your acts, the earth is sated.
You cause grass to sprout up for the cattle,
crops for the labour of human hands,
bringing forth bread from the earth,
wine to delight the human heart\u2015
to make their faces glisten with oil,
and wheat,
by which the human heart gains strength.
The sun \u2013 you know the place from where it came.
You placed down darkness, and there was night.
In it crawl all the beasts of the forest.
How vast are your works, God,
all of them created with wisdom.
Your craftsmanship overflows the world.
Behold! The sea \u2013 its distance is huge and wide.
In it, creatures crawl beyond number,
small fish along with the large.
All of them look toward you to give them food.
You open your hand and they eat their share.
You hide your face,
and they are confounded, confused.
You take back their breath and they grow weak,
returning to the dust from which they were made.
You send forth your breath
and they are created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You renew the face of the earth.
Your glory continues forever.
I will sing out to God with my life,
make melodies to the Creator
with all my strength.
Stand in wonder, O my soul,
before the Eternal.
Let my soul shine praises on God.
Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
