My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?

Psalms 42:2 in context
Psalms 42:1–5
1
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
so my soul pants after you, God.
2
Selected verse
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
3
My tears have been my food day and night,
while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
4
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house,
with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
5
Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God!
For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
