1. For the music director; a well-written song by the Korahites. As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God!
|
1. To the chief Musician H5329 , Maschil H4905 , for the sons H1121 of Korah H7141 . As the hart H354 panteth H6165 after H5921 the water H4325 brooks H650 , so H3651 panteth H6165 my soul H5315 after H413 thee , O God H430 .
|
|
2. I thirst for God, for the living God. I say, "When will I be able to go and appear in God's presence?"
|
2. My soul H5315 thirsteth H6770 for God H430 , for the living H2416 God H410 : when H4970 shall I come H935 and appear H7200 before H6440 God H430 ?
|
|
3. I cannot eat, I weep day and night; all day long they say to me, "Where is your God?"
|
3. My tears H1832 have been H1961 my meat H3899 day H3119 and night H3915 , while they continually H3605 H3117 say H559 unto H413 me, Where H346 is thy God H430 ?
|
|
4. I will remember and weep! For I was once walking along with the great throng to the temple of God, shouting and giving thanks along with the crowd as we celebrated the holy festival.
|
4. When I remember H2142 these H428 things , I pour out H8210 my soul H5315 in H5921 me: for H3588 I had gone H5674 with the multitude H5519 , I went H1718 with them to H5704 the house H1004 of God H430 , with the voice H6963 of joy H7440 and praise H8426 , with a multitude H1995 that kept holyday H2287 .
|
|
5. Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.
|
5. Why H4100 art thou cast down H7817 , O my soul H5315 ? and why art thou disquieted H1993 in H5921 me? hope H3176 thou in God H430 : for H3588 I shall yet H5750 praise H3034 him for the help H3444 of his countenance H6440 .
|
|
6. I am depressed, so I will pray to you while I am trapped here in the region of the upper Jordan, from Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
|
6. O my God H430 , my soul H5315 is cast down H7817 within H5921 me: therefore H5921 H3651 will I remember H2142 thee from the land H4480 H776 of Jordan H3383 , and of the Hermonites H2769 , from the hill H4480 H2022 Mizar H4706 .
|
|
7. One deep stream calls out to another at the sound of your waterfalls; all your billows and waves overwhelm me.
|
7. Deep H8415 calleth H7121 unto H413 deep H8415 at the noise H6963 of thy waterspouts H6794 : all H3605 thy waves H4867 and thy billows H1530 are gone H5674 over H5921 me.
|
|
8. By day the LORD decrees his loyal love, and by night he gives me a song, a prayer to the living God.
|
8. Yet the LORD H3068 will command H6680 his lovingkindness H2617 in the daytime H3119 , and in the night H3915 his song H7892 shall be with H5973 me, and my prayer H8605 unto the God H410 of my life H2416 .
|
|
9. I will pray to God, my high ridge: "Why do you ignore me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?"
|
9. I will say H559 unto God H410 my rock H5553 , Why H4100 hast thou forgotten H7911 me? why H4100 go H1980 I mourning H6937 because of the oppression H3906 of the enemy H341 ?
|
|
10. My enemies' taunts cut into me to the bone, as they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
|
10. As with a sword H7524 in my bones H6106 , mine enemies H6887 reproach H2778 me ; while they say H559 daily H3605 H3117 unto H413 me, Where H346 is thy God H430 ?
|
|
11. Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.
|
11. Why H4100 art thou cast down H7817 , O my soul H5315 ? and why H4100 art thou disquieted H1993 within H5921 me? hope H3176 thou in God H430 : for H3588 I shall yet H5750 praise H3034 him, who is the health H3444 of my countenance H6440 , and my God H430 .
