KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 42
David's zeal to serve Jehovah in the temple. He encourages his soul to trust in Jehovah. To the chief musician. A Contemplation for the sons of Korah.
1To the chief musician. A Contemplation for the sons of Korah. As the deer pants after the channels of water, so my soul pants after You, O God.
2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; when shall I come and see the face of God?
3My tears have been my food by day and by night, while they say to me all the day, Where is your God?
4When I remember these things and I pour out my soul on me (for I passed over with the throng; I led them to the house of God with the voice of rejoicing and praise, a host keeping the feast).
5O my soul, why are you cast down and moan within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet thank Him for the salvations of His presence.
6O my God, my soul is cast down within me; on account of this I remember You from Jordan-land and from the Hermons, from Mount Mizar.
7Deep calls to deep through the voice of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me.
8Jehovah will command His loving-kindness by day, and His song shall be with me in the night, a prayer to the God of my life.
9I will say to God my Rock, Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go darkened when the enemy oppresses me?
10With shattering in my bones ones distressing me reproach me, when they say to me every day, Where is your God?
11O my soul, why are you cast down? And why do you moan within me? Hope in God, for I yet thank Him for the salvations of my face and my God.
