Psalms 42

Psalm 42
BOOK II
For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.
As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, Elohim.*The Hebrew word rendered �Elohim� is �?????????� (Elohim). My soul thirsts for Elohim, for the living Elohim. When shall I come and appear before Elohim? My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, �Where is your Elohim?� These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to Elohim�s house, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day. Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in Elohim! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence. My Elohim, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar. Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.
Yehowah�Yehowah� is Elohim�s proper Name, sometimes rendered �Yehowah� (all caps) in other translations. will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the Elohim of my life. I will ask Elohim, my rock, �Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?� 10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, �Where is your Elohim?� 11 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in Elohim! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my Elohim.
