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.
Al Vencedor: Masquil a los hijos de Coré. Como el ciervo brama por las corrientes de las aguas, así clama por ti, oh Dios, el alma mía.
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 tuvo sed de Dios, del Dios vivo. ¡Cuándo vendré, y compareceré delante de 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]?”
Fueron mis lágrimas mi pan de día y de noche, mientras me decían todos los días: ¿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 estas cosas me acordaré, y derramaré mi alma sobre mí. Cuando pasaré en el número, iré con ellos hasta la Casa de Dios, con voz de alegría y de alabanza, bailando la multitud.
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 abates, oh alma mía, y bramas contra mí? Espera a Dios; porque aún le tengo de alabar por las saludes 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 en mí abatida; por tanto me acordaré de ti desde la tierra del Jordán, y de los hermonitas, desde el monte de 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.
Un abismo llama a otro a la voz de tus canales; todas tus ondas y tus olas han pasado sobre mí.
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.
De día mandará el SEÑOR su misericordia, y de noche su canción será conmigo, 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].
Diré a Dios: Roca mía, ¿por qué te has olvidado de mí? ¿Por qué andaré yo enlutado 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.
Es como muerte en mis huesos, cuando mis enemigos me afrentan, diciéndome cada día: ¿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 qué te abates, oh alma mía, y por qué bramas contra mí? Espera a Dios; quien es la salud de mi rostro, y el Dios mío.
