1 <V 41:1>Unto the end. The understanding of the sons of Korah. <V 41:2>As the deer longs for fountains of water, so my soul longs for you, O God. As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.
2 <V 41:3>My soul has thirsted for the strong living God. When will I draw close and appear before the face of God? My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
3 <V 41:4>My tears have been my bread, day and night. Meanwhile, it is said to me daily: “Where is your God?” My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
4 <V 41:5>These things I have remembered; and my soul within me, I have poured out. For I will cross into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, all the way to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and confession, the sound of feasting. These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival. These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the Mighty One with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng.
5 <V 41:6>Why are you sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still confess to him: the salvation of my countenance, Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
6 <V 41:7>and my God. My soul has been troubled within myself. Because of this, I will remember you from the land of the Jordan and from Hermon, from the little mountain. and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.
7 <V 41:8>Abyss calls upon abyss, with the voice of your floodgate. All your heights and your waves have passed over me. Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me. Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
8 <V 41:9>In the daylight, the Lord has ordered his mercy; and in the night, a canticle to him. With me is a prayer to the God of my life. By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.
9 <V 41:10>I will say to God, “You are my supporter. Why have you forgotten me? And why do I walk in mourning, while my adversary afflicts me?” I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?”
10 <V 41:11>While my bones are being broken, my enemies, who trouble me, have reproached me. Meanwhile, they say to me every single day, “Where is your God?” As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
11 <V 41:12>My soul, why are you saddened? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still confess to him: the salvation of my countenance and my God. Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
