Psalms 42

1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

1As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

1To the Overseer. --An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.

1 Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.

2My soul thirsteth for God, 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?

2My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?

2My soul is dry for need of God, the living God; when may I come and see the face of God?

3My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

3My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

3My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where <FI>is<Fi> thy God?'

3My tears have been my food day and night, while they keep saying to me, Where is your God?

4These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

4These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

4These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!

4Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast.

5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? Andwhy art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him Forthe help of his countenance.

5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? Andwhy art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him Forthe help of his countenance.

5What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance--My God!

5Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: Therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

6O my God, my soul is cast down within me: Therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

6In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

6My soul is crushed down in me, so I will keep you in mind; from the land of Jordan and of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

7Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.

7Deep is sounding to deep at the noise of your waterfalls; all your waves have gone rolling over me.

8Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time; And in the night his song shall be with me, Evena prayer unto the God of my life.

8Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time; And in the night his song shall be with me, Evena prayer unto the God of my life.

8By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song <FI>is<Fi> with me, A prayer to the God of my life.

8But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

9I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

9I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

9I say to God my rock, `Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?

9I will say to God my Rock, Why have you let me go from your memory? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?

10As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

10As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

10With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where <FI>is<Fi> thy God?'

10The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your 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 isthe help 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 isthe help of my countenance, and my God.

11What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

11Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
