Psalms 42
1 For the Chief Musician; Maschil of the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ מַשְׂכִּיל לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃ כְּאַיָּל תַּעֲרֹג עַל־אֲפִֽיקֵי־מָיִם כֵּן נַפְשִׁי תַעֲרֹג אֵלֶיךָ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
| צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי ׀ לֵאלֹהִים לְאֵל חָי מָתַי אָבוֹא וְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
| הָֽיְתָה־לִּי דִמְעָתִי לֶחֶם יוֹמָם וָלָיְלָה בֶּאֱמֹר אֵלַי כָּל־הַיּוֹם אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ |
4 These 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.
| אֵלֶּה אֶזְכְּרָה ׀ וְאֶשְׁפְּכָה עָלַי ׀ נַפְשִׁי כִּי אֶֽעֱבֹר ׀ בַּסָּךְ אֶדַּדֵּם עַד־בֵּית אֱלֹהִים בְּקוֹל־רִנָּה וְתוֹדָה הָמוֹן חוֹגֵֽג׃ |
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the health of his countenance.
| מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי ׀ נַפְשִׁי וַתֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִילִי לֵֽאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעוֹת פָּנָֽיו׃ |
6 O 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.
| אֱֽלֹהַי עָלַי נַפְשִׁי תִשְׁתּוֹחָח עַל־כֵּן אֶזְכָּרְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ יַרְדֵּן וְחֶרְמוֹנִים מֵהַר מִצְעָֽר׃ |
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
| תְּהֽוֹם־אֶל־תְּהוֹם קוֹרֵא לְקוֹל צִנּוֹרֶיךָ כָּֽל־מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ וְגַלֶּיךָ עָלַי עָבָֽרוּ׃ |
8 [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day-time, and in the night his song shall be with me, [even] a prayer unto the God of my life.
| יוֹמָם ׀ יְצַוֶּה יְהוָה ׀ חַסְדּוֹ וּבַלַּיְלָה שירה שִׁירוֹ עִמִּי תְּפִלָּה לְאֵל חַיָּֽי׃ |
9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
| אוֹמְרָה ׀ לְאֵל סַלְעִי לָמָה שְׁכַחְתָּנִי לָֽמָּה־קֹדֵר אֵלֵךְ בְּלַחַץ אוֹיֵֽב׃ |
10 As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me; while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
| בְּרֶצַח ׀ בְּֽעַצְמוֹתַי חֵרְפוּנִי צוֹרְרָי בְּאָמְרָם אֵלַי כָּל־הַיּוֹם אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ |
11 Why 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 is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
| מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי ׀ נַפְשִׁי וּֽמַה־תֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִילִי לֽ͏ֵאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעֹת פָּנַי וֵֽאלֹהָֽי׃ |
