1(42) For the end, [a Psalm] for instruction, for the sons of Core. As the hart earnestly desires the fountains of water , so my soul earnestly longs for you, O God.
1As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2My soul has thirsted for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
2My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3My tears have been bread to me day and night, while they daily said to me, Where is your God?
3My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4I remembered these things, and poured out my soul in me, for I will go to the place of your wondrous tabernacle, [even] to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and thanksgiving and of the sound of those who keep festival.
4When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; [he is] the salvation of my countenance.
5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
6O my God, my soul has been troubled within me: therefore will I remember you from the land of Jordan, and of the Ermonites, from the little hill .
6O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
7Deep calls to deep at the voice of your cataracts: all your billows and your waves have gone over me.
7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8By day the Lord will command his mercy, and manifest [it] by night: with me [is] prayer to the God of my life.
8Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
9I will say to God, You are my helper; why have you forgotten me? therefore do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?
9I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10While my bones were breaking, they that afflicted me reproached me; while they said to me daily , Where is your God?
10As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
11Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; [he is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
11Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
