Psalmi 42


font
VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 Psalmus David. Judica me, Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta :
ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me.
1 [For the choirmaster Poem Of the sons of Korah] As a deer yearns for running streams, so I yearn foryou, my God.
2 Quia tu es, Deus, fortitudo mea : quare me repulisti ?
et quare tristis incedo, dum affligit me inimicus ?
2 I thirst for God, the living God; when shal I go to see the face of God?
3 Emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam :
ipsa me deduxerunt, et adduxerunt
in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernacula tua.
3 I have no food but tears day and night, as al day long I am taunted, 'Where is your God?'
4 Et introibo ad altare Dei,
ad Deum qui lætificat juventutem meam.
Confitebor tibi in cithara, Deus, Deus meus.
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 Quare tristis es, anima mea ?
et quare conturbas me ?
Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi,
salutare vultus mei, et Deus meus.
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.
