1A psalm for David. Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
1BOOK II (42-1) For the Leader; Maschil of the sons of Korah. (42-2) As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.
2For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
2(42-3) My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: 'When shall I come and appear before God?'
3Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
3(42-4) My tears have been my food day and night, while they say unto me all the day: 'Where is Thy God?'
4And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
4(42-5) These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I passed on with the throng, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.
5To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
5(42-6) Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His countenance.
6Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
6(42-7) O my God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, and the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
