Book Two

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

To the choirmaster. A Maskil42:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term of 42:0 1 Chr. 6:33, 37the Sons of Korah.

142:1 [Joel 1:20]As a deer pants for flowing streams,

so pants my soul for you, O God.

242:2 Ps. 63:1; John 7:37; [Isa. 41:17; 55:1]; See Ps. 84:2My soul thirsts for God,

for 42:2 Ps. 84:2; Josh. 3:10; Dan. 6:26the living God.

When shall I come and 42:2 Ps. 84:7; [Ex. 23:17]appear before God?42:2 Revocalization yields and see the face of God

342:3 Ps. 80:5; 102:9My tears have been my food

day and night,

42:3 ver. 10; Ps. 79:10; 115:2; Joel 2:17; Mic. 7:10while they say to me all the day long,

“Where is your God?”

4These things I remember,

as I 42:4 Ps. 62:8; 1 Sam. 1:15; Job 30:16; Lam. 2:19pour out my soul:

42:4 [Isa. 30:29] how I would go 42:4 Ps. 55:14with the throng

and lead them in procession to the house of God

with glad shouts and songs of praise,

42:4 [2 Sam. 6:15]a multitude keeping festival.

542:5 ver. 11; Ps. 43:5; [Matt. 26:38; John 12:27] Why are you cast down, O my soul,

and why are you 42:5 Ps. 77:3in turmoil within me?

42:5 Lam. 3:24Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,

my salvation42:5 Hebrew the salvation of my face; also verse 11 and 43:5

6and my God.

My soul is cast down within me;

therefore I 42:6 Jonah 2:7remember you

42:6 2 Sam. 17:22, 24from the land of Jordan and of 42:6 Deut. 3:9Hermon,

from Mount Mizar.

7Deep calls to deep

at the roar of your waterfalls;

42:7 Jonah 2:3all your breakers and your 42:7 Ps. 88:7; See Ps. 32:6waves

have gone over me.

8By day the Lord42:8 Ps. 44:4; 68:28; 71:3; 133:3commands his steadfast love,

and at 42:8 Job 35:10; [Ps. 4:4; 16:7; 63:6; 77:6; 119:55, 62, 148; 149:5]night his song is with me,

a prayer to the God of my life.

9I say to God, 42:9 See Ps. 18:2; 2 Sam. 22:2my rock:

“Why have you forgotten me?

42:9 Ps. 38:6; 43:2Why do I go mourning

because of the oppression of the enemy?”

10As with a deadly wound in my bones,

my adversaries taunt me,

42:10 See ver. 3while they say to me all the day long,

“Where is your God?”

1142:11 See ver. 5Why 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.
