Psalms 42

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and discern my cause from that of a nation not holy; rescue me from a man unjust and deceitful.	1 Unto the end, understanding for the sons of Core.
2 For you are God, my strength. Why have you rejected me? And why do I walk in sadness, while the adversary afflicts me?	2 As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
3 Send forth your light and your truth. They have guided me and led me, to your holy mountain and into your tabernacles.	3 My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
4 And I will enter, up to the altar of God, to God who enlivens my youthfulness. To you, O God, my God, I will confess upon a stringed instrument.	4 My tears have been any bread day and night, whilst it is said to me daily : Where is thy God?
5 Why are you sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance and my God.	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.
	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,
	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.
	8 Deep calleth on deep, at the noise of thy flood-gates. All thy heights and thy billows have passed over me.
	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.
	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?
	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?
	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.
