Psalms 42

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Miqra 'al pi ha-Mesorah
1 Unto the end, understanding for the sons of Core.	1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ מַשְׂכִּיל לִבְנֵי־קֹֽרַח׃
2 As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God.	2 כְּאַיָּל תַּעֲרֹג עַל־אֲפִֽיקֵי־מָיִםכֵּן נַפְשִׁי תַעֲרֹג אֵלֶיךָ אֱלֹהִֽים׃
3 My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God?	3 צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי ׀ לֵאלֹהִים לְאֵל חָימָתַי אָבוֹאוְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹהִֽים׃
4 My tears have been any bread day and night, whilst it is said to me daily : Where is thy God?	4 הָיְתָה־לִּי דִמְעָתִי לֶחֶם יוֹמָם וָלָיְלָהבֶּאֱמֹר אֵלַי כׇּל־הַיּוֹם אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃
5 These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me : for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God : With the voice of joy and praise; the noise of one feasting.	5 אֵלֶּה אֶזְכְּרָה ׀ וְאֶשְׁפְּכָה עָלַי ׀ נַפְשִׁיכִּי אֶעֱבֹר ׀ בַּסָּךְאֶדַּדֵּם עַד־בֵּית אֱלֹהִיםבְּקוֹל־רִנָּה וְתוֹדָההָמוֹן חוֹגֵֽג׃
6 Why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him : the salvation of my countenance,	6 מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי ׀ נַפְשִׁי וַתֶּהֱמִי עָלָיהוֹחִלִי לֵאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּיְשׁוּעוֹת פָּנָֽיו׃
7 and my God. My soul is troubled within myself : therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.	7 אֱלֹהַי עָלַי נַפְשִׁי תִשְׁתּוֹחָחעַל־כֵּן אֶזְכׇּרְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ יַרְדֵּןוְחֶרְמוֹנִים מֵהַר מִצְעָֽר׃
8 Deep calleth on deep, at the noise of thy flood-gates. All thy heights and thy billows have passed over me.	8 תְּהוֹם־אֶל־תְּהוֹם קוֹרֵא לְקוֹל צִנּוֹרֶיךָכׇּֽל־מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ וְגַלֶּיךָ עָלַי עָבָֽרוּ׃
9 In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; and a canticle to him in the night. With me is prayer to the God of my life.	9 יוֹמָם ׀ יְצַוֶּה יְהֹוָה ׀ חַסְדּוֹוּבַלַּיְלָה שִׁירֹה עִמִּיתְּפִלָּה לְאֵל חַיָּֽי׃
10 I will say to God : Thou art my support. Why hast thou forgotten me? and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?	10 אוֹמְרָה ׀ לְאֵל סַלְעִי לָמָה שְׁכַחְתָּנִילָֽמָּה־קֹדֵר אֵלֵךְבְּלַחַץ אוֹיֵֽב׃
11 Whilst my bones are broken, my enemies who trouble me have reproached me; Whilst they say to me day be day : Where is thy God?	11 בְּרֶצַח ׀ בְּֽעַצְמוֹתַי חֵרְפוּנִי צוֹרְרָיבְּאׇמְרָם אֵלַי כׇּל־הַיּוֹםאַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃
12 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him : the salvation of my countenance, and my God.	12 מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי ׀ נַפְשִׁיוּֽמַה־תֶּהֱמִי עָלָיהוֹחִילִי לֵאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּיְשׁוּעֹת פָּנַי וֵאלֹהָֽי׃
