< תהילים 42 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מַשְׂכִּיל לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃ כְּאַיָּל תַּעֲרֹג עַל־אֲפִֽיקֵי־מָיִם כֵּן נַפְשִׁי תַעֲרֹג אֵלֶיךָ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 1 |
To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of the sons of Korah. Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.
צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי ׀ לֵאלֹהִים לְאֵל חָי מָתַי אָבוֹא וְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 2 |
My soul is dry for need of God, the living God; when may I come and see the face of God?
הָיְתָה־לִּי דִמְעָתִי לֶחֶם יוֹמָם וָלָיְלָה בֶּאֱמֹר אֵלַי כׇּל־הַיּוֹם אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ | 3 |
My tears have been my food day and night, while they keep saying to me, Where is your God?
אֵלֶּה אֶזְכְּרָה ׀ וְאֶשְׁפְּכָה עָלַי ׀ נַפְשִׁי כִּי אֶעֱבֹר ׀ בַּסָּךְ אֶדַּדֵּם עַד־בֵּית אֱלֹהִים בְּקוֹל־רִנָּה וְתוֹדָה הָמוֹן חוֹגֵֽג׃ | 4 |
Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast.
מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי ׀ נַפְשִׁי וַתֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִלִי לֵאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעוֹת פָּנָֽיו׃ | 5 |
Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
אֱלֹהַי עָלַי נַפְשִׁי תִשְׁתּוֹחָח עַל־כֵּן אֶזְכׇּרְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ יַרְדֵּן וְחֶרְמוֹנִים מֵהַר מִצְעָֽר׃ | 6 |
My soul is crushed down in me, so I will keep you in mind; from the land of Jordan and of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
תְּהוֹם־אֶל־תְּהוֹם קוֹרֵא לְקוֹל צִנּוֹרֶיךָ כׇּֽל־מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ וְגַלֶּיךָ עָלַי עָבָֽרוּ׃ | 7 |
Deep is sounding to deep at the noise of your waterfalls; all your waves have gone rolling over me.
יוֹמָם ׀ יְצַוֶּה יְהֹוָה ׀ חַסְדּוֹ וּבַלַּיְלָה שִׁירֹה עִמִּי תְּפִלָּה לְאֵל חַיָּֽי׃ | 8 |
But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
אוֹמְרָה ׀ לְאֵל סַלְעִי לָמָה שְׁכַחְתָּנִי לָֽמָּה־קֹדֵר אֵלֵךְ בְּלַחַץ אוֹיֵֽב׃ | 9 |
I will say to God my Rock, Why have you let me go from your memory? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?
בְּרֶצַח ׀ בְּֽעַצְמוֹתַי חֵרְפוּנִי צוֹרְרָי בְּאׇמְרָם אֵלַי כׇּל־הַיּוֹם אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ | 10 |
The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?
מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי ׀ נַפְשִׁי וּֽמַה־תֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִילִי לֵאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעֹת פָּנַי וֵאלֹהָֽי׃ | 11 |
Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
