←Prev   Psalms 42 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


42:1  For the choir director; a maskil by Korah’s descendants. As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O Elohim.
42:2  My soul thirsts for Elohim, for El Chay. When may I come to see Elohim’s face?
42:3  My tears are my food day and night. People ask me all day long, “Where is your Elohim?”
42:4  I will remember these things as I pour out my soul: how I used to walk with the crowd and lead it in a procession to Elohim’s house. I sang songs of joy and thanksgiving while crowds of people celebrated a festival.
42:5  Why are you discouraged, my soul? Why are you so restless? Put your hope in Elohim, because I will still praise him. He is my savior and my Elohim.
42:6  My soul is discouraged. That is why I will remember you in the land of Jordan, on the peaks of Hermon, on Mount Mizar.
42:7  One deep sea calls to another at the roar of your waterspouts. All the whitecaps on your waves have swept over me.
42:8  Yahweh commands his mercy during the day, and at night his song is with me— a prayer to the El of my life.
42:9  I will ask Elohim, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk around in mourning while the enemy oppresses me?”
42:10  With a shattering blow to my bones, my enemies taunt me. They ask me all day long, “Where is your Elohim?”
42:11  Why are you discouraged, my soul? Why are you so restless? Put your hope in Elohim, because I will still praise him. He is my savior and my Elohim.
