Psalm 42:3

New Catholic Bible

³My soul^[a] thirsts for God, the living God.
When shall I come to behold the face of God?

Psalm 42:3 Soul: see note on Ps 6:4. Living God: see Deut 5:26. Behold the face of God: here the phrase is taken to mean God’s personal presence (see Gen 33:10; Ex 10:28f). In other places the expression “see God” (or “see the face of God”) indicates the presence of God in the temple (see Pss 11:7; 17:15; 63:3; Ex 24:10; 33:7-11; Job 33:26).

Psalm 42:3

New International Version

³My tears^(A) have been my food
day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”^(B)
