Footnotes
- 42:3 See the face of God: “face” designates a personal presence (Gn 33:10; Ex 10:28–29; 2 Sm 17:11). The expressions “see God/God’s face” occur elsewhere (Ps 11:7; 17:15; cf. Ex 24:10; 33:7–11; Jb 33:26) for the presence of God in the Temple.

I
2 O God, you are my God—

For you my body yearns;
for you my soul thirsts,
In a land parched, lifeless,
and without water.(A)
3 I look to you in the sanctuary
to see your power and glory.

yes, my spirit within me seeks you at dawn;
When your judgment comes upon the earth,
the world’s inhabitants learn justice.(A)
