Psalms 42

1 Deer pant, desiring to drink water from a stream [when there is a drought] (OR, [when they are being pursued by hunters].) In the same way [SIM], God, I need you very much.

Para el músico principal. Una contemplación de los hijos de Coré. Como el ciervo que busca los arroyos de agua, por lo que mi alma suspira por ti, Dios.

2 I desire to have fellowship with [MET] you, the all-powerful God. [I wonder], “When will I be able to go [back to the temple in Israel] and worship in your presence again?”

Mi alma tiene sed de Dios, del Dios vivo. ¿Cuándo vendré a comparecer ante Dios?

3 Every day and every night I cry; [it is as though] the only thing I have to drink is my tears; and while I do that, my enemies are continually asking me, “Why does your god not [help you]?”

Mis lágrimas han sido mi alimento día y noche, mientras me preguntan continuamente: “¿Dónde está tu Dios?”

4 I am very distressed [IDM] as I remember when I went with the crowd of people to the temple [in Jerusalem], leading them as we walked along; we were all shouting joyfully and singing to thank God [for what he had done]; we were a large group who were celebrating.

De esto me acuerdo, y derramo mi alma dentro de mí, cómo solía ir con la multitud, y los llevaba a la casa de Dios, con voz de alegría y alabanza, una multitud que celebra un día santo.

5 So [I say to] myself, “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to help me], and again I will praise him, my God, the one who saves me.”

¿Por qué te desesperas, alma mía? ¿Por qué te perturbas dentro de mí? ¡Espera en Dios! Porque aún le alabaré por la ayuda salvadora de su presencia.

6 [But now, Yahweh], I am very discouraged [IDM], so I think about you, even from where the Jordan [River] gushes out from the bottom of Hermon [Mountain] and from Mizar Mountain.

Dios mío, mi alma está desesperada dentro de mí. Por eso me acuerdo de ti desde la tierra del Jordán, las alturas del Hermón, desde la colina Mizar.

7 But here, the great sorrow that I feel is like water that you send down [MET]; [it is like] a waterfall that tumbles down and floods over me.

Llamadas profundas al ruido de sus cascadas. Todas tus olas y tus olas me han barrido.

8 Yahweh shows me each day that he faithfully loves me, and each night I sing to him and pray to him, the God who causes me to live.

Yahvé ordenará su bondad amorosa durante el día. En la noche su canción estará conmigo: una oración al Dios de mi vida.

9 I say to God, [who is like] an [overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET], “It seems that you have forgotten me. I (mourn/cry) constantly because my enemies act cruelly toward me” [RHQ].

Preguntaré a Dios, mi roca: “¿Por qué me has olvidado? ¿Por qué voy de luto por la opresión del enemigo?”

10 They make fun of me constantly; they continually ask, “Why does your god not help you?” [RHQ] And when they insult me [like that], [it is like] wounds that I feel even in my bones.

Como con una espada en los huesos, mis adversarios me reprochan, mientras me preguntan continuamente: “¿Dónde está tu Dios?”

11 But [I think, ] “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I will confidently expect God [to help me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.”

¿Por quéestás desesperada, alma mía? ¿Por qué te perturbas dentro de mí? ¡Espera en Dios! Porque todavía lo alabaré, la ayuda salvadora de mi rostro, y mi Dios.
