Psalm 42
JPS Tanakh 1917

ספר שני
BOOK II

1For the Leader; Maschil of the sons of Korah.

2As the hart panteth after the water brooks,
So panteth my soul after Thee, O God.
3My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:
‘When shall I come and appear before God?’
4My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say unto me all the day: ‘Where is Thy God?’
5These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I passed on with the throng, and led them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.
6Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
And why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him
For the salvation of His countenance.

7O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore do I remember Thee from the land of Jordan,
And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
8Deep calleth unto deep at the voice of Thy cataracts;
All Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me.
9By day the LORD will command His lovingkindness,
And in the night His song shall be with me,
Even a prayer unto the God of my life.
10I will say unto God my Rock: ‘Why hast Thou forgotten me?
Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?’
11As with a crushing in my bones, mine adversaries taunt me;
While they say unto me all the day: ‘Where is Thy God?’
12Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
And why moanest thou within me?
Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him,
The salvation of my countenance, and my God.
