Salmi 42

BIBBIA MARTINI	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Salmo di Davidde. Fammi ragione, o Signore, e prendi in mano la causa mia: liberami da una nazione non santa, dall'uomo iniquo, e ingannatore.	1 [For the choirmaster Poem Of the sons of Korah] As a deer yearns for running streams, so I yearn foryou, my God.
2 Perocché tu sei, o Dio, la mia fortezza: perché mi hai tu rigettato, e perché son io contristato, mentre mi affligge il nimico?	2 I thirst for God, the living God; when shal I go to see the face of God?
3 Fa spuntare la tua luce, e la tua verità: elleno mi stradino, e mi conducano al tuo monte santo, e a' tuoi tabernacoli.	3 I have no food but tears day and night, as al day long I am taunted, 'Where is your God?'
4 E mi accosterò all'altare di Dio, a Dio, il quale da letizia alla mia giovinezza.	4 This I remember as I pour out my heart, how I used to pass under the roof of the Most High used to goto the house of God, among cries of joy and praise, the sound of the feast.
5 Te io loderò sulla cetra, Dio, Dio mio: e perché, o anima mia, se' tu nella tristezza, e perché mi conturbi? Spera in Dio; imperocché ancora canterò le lodi di lui, salute della mia faccia, e Dio mio.	5 Why be so downcast, why all these sighs? Hope in God! I will praise him stil , my Saviour,
	6 my God. When I am downcast I think of you: from the land of Jordan and Hermon, I think of you,humble mountain.
	7 Deep is cal ing to deep by the roar of your cataracts, al your waves and breakers have rolled over me.
	8 In the daytime God sends his faithful love, and even at night; the song it inspires in me is a prayer tomy living God.
	9 I shal say to God, my rock, 'Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go around in mourning,harrassed by the enemy?'
	10 With death in my bones, my enemies taunt me, al day long they ask me, 'Where is your God?'
	11 Why so downcast, why al these sighs? Hope in God! I wil praise him stil , my Saviour, my God.
