Psalms 42

New American Bible	Ave Maria
¹ For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites.	¹ Fazei-me justiça, ó Deus, e defendei minha causa contra uma nação ímpia. Livrai-me do homem doloso e perverso,
² As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.	² pois vós, ó meu Deus, sois a minha fortaleza; por que me repelis? Por que devo andar triste sob a opressão do inimigo?
³ My being thirsts for God, the living God. When can I go and see the face of God?	³ Lançai sobre mim a vossa luz e fidelidade; que elas me guiem, e me conduzam ao vosso monte santo, aos vossos tabernáculos.
⁴ My tears have been my food day and night, as they ask daily,"Where is your God?"	⁴ E me aproximarei do altar de Deus, do Deus de minha alegria e exultação. E vos louvarei com a cítara, ó Senhor, meu Deus!
⁵ Those times I recall as I pour out my soul, When I went in procession with the crowd, I went with them to the house of God, Amid loud cries of thanksgiving, with the multitude keeping festival.	⁵ Por que te deprimes, ó minha alma, e te inquietas dentro de mim? Espera em Deus, porque ainda hei de louvá-lo: ele é minha salvação e meu Deus.
⁶ Why are you downcast, my soul; why do you groan within me? Wait for God, whom I shall praise again, my savior and my God.
⁷ My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you From the land of the Jordan and Hermon, from the land of Mount Mizar.
⁸ Here deep calls to deep in the roar of your torrents. All your waves and breakers sweep over me.
⁹ At dawn may the LORD bestow faithful love that I may sing praise through the night, praise to the God of my life.
¹⁰ I say to God, "My rock, why do you forget me? Why must I go about mourning with the enemy oppressing me?"
¹¹ It shatters my bones, when my adversaries reproach me. They say to me daily: "Where is your God?"
¹² Why are you downcast, my soul, why do you groan within me? Wait for God, whom I shall praise again, my savior and my God.
