Ps 42

1 For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Core. As the hart earnestly desires the fountains of water, so my soul earnestly longs for you, O God. 2 My soul has thirsted for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been bread to me day and night, while they daily said to me, Where is your God? 4 I remembered these things, and poured out my soul in me, for I will go to the place of your wondrous tabernacle, even to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and thanksgiving and of the sound of those who keep festival. There are several difficulties connected with this passage. In the first place it seems evident that the LXX read Kob, and the English translators dob, or something similar. The Hebrew Text (to which no yrq is appended) thus far favours the LXX, who, however, appear to have read Mdda as a part of rda, and made an adjective of it. Again, topw has nothing immediately answering it in the Hebrew, and may be accounted for on the principle so often referred to of double translation 5 Wherefore are you very sad, O my soul? and wherefore do you trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; he is the salvation of my countenance. 6 O my God, my soul has been troubled within me: therefore will I remember you from the land of Jordan, and of the Ermonites, from the little hill. 7 Deep calls to deep at the voice of your cataracts: all your billows and your waves have gone over me. 8 By day the Lord will command his mercy, and Heb. and Alex. his song shall be, etc. manifest it by night: with me is prayer to the God of my life. 9 I will say to God, You are my helper; why have you forgotten me? wherefore do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses me? 10 While my bones were breaking, they that afflicted me reproached me; while they said to me daily, Where is your God? 11 Wherefore are you very sad, O my soul? and wherefore do you trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; he is the health of my countenance, and my God.
