As the deer longs for the springs of waters, so my soul longs for you, O God
My soul thirsted for the living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
μοι τὰ δάκρυά μου ἄρτος ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαί μοι καθ᾿ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεός σου
My tears have become bread to me day and night, while it is said to me each day, Where is your God?
ἐμνήσθην καὶ ἐξέχεα ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ τὴν ψυχήν μου ὅτι διελεύσομαι ἐν τόπῳ σκηνῆς θαυμαστῆς ἕως τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν φωνῇ ἀγαλλιάσεως καὶ ἐξομολογήσεως ἤχου ἑορτάζοντος
These things I remembered, and I poured out my soul upon me, for I shall pass through in the place of the wondrous tent, even to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and thanksgiving, the sound of one keeping festival
τί περίλυπος εἶ ψυχή καὶ ἵνα τί συνταράσσεις με ἔλπισον ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν ὅτι ἐξομολογήσομαι αὐτῷ σωτήριον τοῦ προσώπου μου ὁ θεός μου
Why are you very sorrowful, O my soul, and why do you trouble me? Hope in God, for I shall give thanks to him, the salvation of my face, my God.
My soul was troubled within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little mountain.
ἄβυσσον ἐπικαλεῖται εἰς φωνὴν τῶν καταρρακτῶν σου πάντες οἱ μετεωρισμοί σου καὶ τὰ κύματά σου ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ διῆλθον
Deep calls to deep at the sound of your waterfalls; all your surging waves and your billows have gone over me.
By day the Lord commands his mercy, and by night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
τῷ θεῷ ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου εἶ διὰ τί μου ἐπελάθου ἵνα τί σκυθρωπάζων πορεύομαι ἐν τῷ ἐκθλίβειν τὸν ἐχθρόν μου
I will say to God, “You are my helper; why have you forgotten me? Why do I go about grieving, while the enemy oppresses me?”
τῷ καταθλάσαι τὰ ὀστᾶ μου ὠνείδισάν με οἱ θλίβοντές με ἐν τῷ λέγειν αὐτούς μοι καθ᾿ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεός σου
When they crushed my bones, those afflicting me reproached me, while they said to me day by day, Where is your God?
τί περίλυπος εἶ ψυχή καὶ ἵνα τί συνταράσσεις με ἔλπισον ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν ὅτι ἐξομολογήσομαι αὐτῷ ἡ σωτηρία τοῦ προσώπου μου ὁ θεός μου
Why are you very sad, O my soul, and why do you trouble me? Hope in God, for I will confess to him; the salvation of my face, my God.
