Psalms 42

NEW JERUSALEM	BIBBIA RICCIOTTI
1 [For the choirmaster Poem Of the sons of Korah] As a deer yearns for running streams, so I yearn foryou, my God.	1 - Salmo di David. Giudicami, o Dio, e sostieni la mia causa contro la gente non pia: liberami dall'uomo iniquo e fraudolento.
2 I thirst for God, the living God; when shal I go to see the face of God?	2 Poichè tu sei, o Dio, la mia fortezza. Perché mi rigetti? e perchè contristato me ne vo, mentre mi travaglia il nemico?
3 I have no food but tears day and night, as al day long I am taunted, 'Where is your God?'	3 Manda giù la tua luce e la tua fedeltà: esse mi guidinoe mi conducano al tuo santo monte e ai tuoi tabernacoli.
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.	4 E m'accosterò all'altare di Dio, al Dio ch'è mia gloria e mia esultanza. Ti celebrerò nella cetra, o Dio, Dio mio!
5 Why be so downcast, why all these sighs? Hope in God! I will praise him stil , my Saviour,	5 Perché sei triste, anima mia, e perché mi conturbi? Spera nel Signore, perché lo loderò ancora, lui, salvezza di mia faccia e mio Dio.
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.
