Literal Standard Version
Psalms • Chapter 42
1
TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. As a deer pants for streams of water, || So my soul pants toward You, O God (Elohim).
2
My soul thirsted for God (Elohim), for the living God (Elohim), || When do I enter and see the face of God (Elohim)?
3
My tear has been bread day and night to me, || In their saying to me all the day, “Where is your God (Elohim)?”
4
These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, || For I pass over into the shelter, || I go softly with them to the house of God (Elohim), || With the voice of singing and confession, || The multitude keeping celebration!
5
Why bow yourself, O my soul? Indeed, are you troubled within me? Wait for God (Elohim), for I still confess Him: The salvation of my countenance—my God (Elohim)!
6
My soul bows itself in me, || Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan, || And of the Hermons, from Mount Mizar.
7
Deep is calling to deep || At the noise of Your waterspouts, || All Your breakers and Your billows passed over me.
8
By day YHWH commands His kindness, || And by night a song is with me, || A prayer to the God (Elohim) of my life.
9
I say to God (Elohim) my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning in the oppression of an enemy?”
10
With a sword in my bones || My adversaries have reproached me, || In their saying to me all the day, “Where is your God (Elohim)?”
11
Why bow yourself, O my soul? And why are you troubled within me? Wait for God (Elohim), for I still confess Him, || The salvation of my countenance, and my God (Elohim)!
