| Chapter 42 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. -
|
2 |
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living łGod: when shall I come and appear before God? -
|
3 |
My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God? -
|
4 |
These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude. -
|
5 |
Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance. -
|
6 |
My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar. -
|
7 |
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me. -
|
8 |
In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the łGod of my life. -
|
9 |
I will say unto łGod my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? -
|
10 |
As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God? -
|
11 |
Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God. -
