1. To the director: A maskil from the Korah family. Like a deer drinking from a stream, I reach out to you, my 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. My soul thirsts for the living God. When can I go to meet with him?
|
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. Instead of food, I have only tears day and night, as my enemies laugh at me and say, "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. My heart breaks as I remember the pleasant times in the past, when I walked with the crowds as I led them up to God's Temple. I remember the happy songs of praise as they celebrated the 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 am I so sad? Why am I so upset? I tell myself, "Wait for God's help! You will again be able to praise him, your God, the one who will save you." In my sadness I say, "I will remember you from here on this small hill, where Mount Hermon and the Jordan River meet."
|
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 .

7. I hear the roar of the water coming from deep within the earth. It shouts to the water below as it tumbles down the waterfall. Lord, your waves come one after another, crashing all around and over 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 shows his faithful love, and at night I have a song for him� a prayer for the God of my life.
|
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 say to God, my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I suffer this sadness that my enemies have brought 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. Their constant insults are killing me. They never stop asking, "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 am I so sad? Why am I so upset? I tell my myself, "Wait for God's help! You will again be able to praise him, your God, the one who will save you."
