Psalms • Chapter 42

1 Unto the end, understanding for the sons of Core. 2 As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God (Elohim). 3 My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God (Elohim); when shall I come and appear before the face of God (Elohim)? 4 My tears have been any bread day and night, whilst it is said to me daily : Where is thy God (Elohim)? 5 These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me : for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God (Elohim) : With the voice of joy and praise; the noise of one feasting. 6 Why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God (Elohim), for I will still give praise to him : the salvation of my countenance, 7 and my God (Elohim). My soul is troubled within myself : therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill. 8 Deep calleth on deep, at the noise of thy flood-gates. All thy heights and thy billows have passed over me. 9 In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; and a canticle to him in the night. With me is prayer to the God (Elohim) of my life. 10 I will say to God (Elohim) : Thou art my support. Why hast thou forgotten me? and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me? 11 Whilst my bones are broken, my enemies who trouble me have reproached me; Whilst they say to me day be day : Where is thy God (Elohim)? 12 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope thou in God (Elohim), for I will still give praise to him : the salvation of my countenance, and my God (Elohim).
