< תהילים 42 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מַשְׂכִּיל לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃ כְּאַיָּל תַּעֲרֹג עַל־אֲפִֽיקֵי־מָיִם כֵּן נַפְשִׁי תַעֲרֹג אֵלֶיךָ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 1 |
TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. As a deer pants for streams of water, So my soul pants toward You, O God.
צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי ׀ לֵאלֹהִים לְאֵל חָי מָתַי אָבוֹא וְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 2 |
My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?
הָֽיְתָה־לִּי דִמְעָתִי לֶחֶם יוֹמָם וָלָיְלָה בֶּאֱמֹר אֵלַי כָּל־הַיּוֹם אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ | 3 |
My tear has been bread day and night to me, In their saying to me all the day, “Where [is] your God?”
אֵלֶּה אֶזְכְּרָה ׀ וְאֶשְׁפְּכָה עָלַי ׀ נַפְשִׁי כִּי אֶֽעֱבֹר ׀ בַּסָּךְ אֶדַּדֵּם עַד־בֵּית אֱלֹהִים בְּקוֹל־רִנָּה וְתוֹדָה הָמוֹן חוֹגֵֽג׃ | 4 |
These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the shelter, I go softly with them to the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping celebration!
מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי ׀ נַפְשִׁי וַתֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִילִי לֵֽאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעוֹת פָּנָֽיו׃ | 5 |
Why bow yourself, O my soul? Indeed, are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him: The salvation of my countenance—my God!
אֱֽלֹהַי עָלַי נַפְשִׁי תִשְׁתּוֹחָח עַל־כֵּן אֶזְכָּרְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ יַרְדֵּן וְחֶרְמוֹנִים מֵהַר מִצְעָֽר׃ | 6 |
My soul bows itself in me, Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from Mount Mizar.
תְּהֽוֹם־אֶל־תְּהוֹם קוֹרֵא לְקוֹל צִנּוֹרֶיךָ כָּֽל־מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ וְגַלֶּיךָ עָלַי עָבָֽרוּ׃ | 7 |
Deep is calling to deep At the noise of Your waterspouts, All Your breakers and Your billows passed over me.
יוֹמָם ׀ יְצַוֶּה יְהוָה ׀ חַסְדּוֹ וּבַלַּיְלָה שירה שִׁירוֹ עִמִּי תְּפִלָּה לְאֵל חַיָּֽי׃ | 8 |
By day YHWH commands His kindness, And by night a song [is] with me, A prayer to the God of my life.
אוֹמְרָה ׀ לְאֵל סַלְעִי לָמָה שְׁכַחְתָּנִי לָֽמָּה־קֹדֵר אֵלֵךְ בְּלַחַץ אוֹיֵֽב׃ | 9 |
I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning in the oppression of an enemy?”
בְּרֶצַח ׀ בְּֽעַצְמוֹתַי חֵרְפוּנִי צוֹרְרָי בְּאָמְרָם אֵלַי כָּל־הַיּוֹם אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ | 10 |
With a sword in my bones My adversaries have reproached me, In their saying to me all the day, “Where [is] your God?”
מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי ׀ נַפְשִׁי וּֽמַה־תֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִילִי לֽ͏ֵאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעֹת פָּנַי וֵֽאלֹהָֽי׃ | 11 |
Why bow yourself, O my soul? And why are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
