Psalms 42 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

εἰς τὸ τέλος εἰς σύνεσιν τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε
In finem. Intellectus filiis Core.

42:1
כְּאַיָּ֗ל תַּעֲרֹ֥ג עַל־אֲפִֽיקֵי־מָ֑יִם כֵּ֤ן נַפְשִׁ֨י תַעֲרֹ֖ג אֵלֶ֣יךָ אֱלֹהִֽים׃
ὃν τρόπον ἐπιποθεῖ ἡ ἔλαφος ἐπὶ τὰς πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων οὕτως ἐπιποθεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου πρὸς σέ ὁ θεός
Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquarum, ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.
ሲሳየ ፡ ኮነኒ ፡ አንብዕየ ፡ መዐልተ ፡ ወሌሊተ ፤ እስመ ፡ ይብሉኒ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ አሚረ ፡ አይቴ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ አምላክከ ።
As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
42:2
צָמְאָ֬ה נַפְשִׁ֨י׀ לֵאלֹהִים֮ לְאֵ֢ל חָ֥֫י מָתַ֥י אָב֑וֹא וְ֝אֵרָאֶ֗ה פְּנֵ֣י אֱלֹהִֽים׃
ἐδίψησεν ἡ ψυχή μου πρὸς τὸν θεὸν τὸν ζῶντα πότε ἥξω καὶ ὀφθήσομαι τῷ προσώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ
Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fortem, vivum ; quando veniam, et apparebo ante faciem Dei ?
ዘንተ ፡ ተዘኪርየ ፡ ተክዕወት ፡ ነፍስየ ፡ በላዕሌየ ፡ እስመ ፡ እበውእ ፡ ውስተ ፡ መካነ ፡ ማኅደረ ፡ ስብሐት ፡ ቤተ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፤
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
42:3
הָֽיְתָה־לִּ֬י דִמְעָתִ֣י לֶ֭חֶם יוֹמָ֣ם וָלָ֑יְלָה בֶּאֱמֹ֥ר אֵלַ֥י כׇּל־הַ֝יּ֗וֹם אַיֵּ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃
ἐγενήθη μοι τὰ δάκρυά μου ἄρτος ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαί μοι καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεός σου
Fuerunt mihi lacrimae meae panes die ac nocte, dum dicitur mihi quotidie : Ubi est Deus tuus ?
በቃለ ፡ አሚን ፡ ወትፍሥሕት ፡ ደምፁ ፡ እለ ፡ ይገብሩ ፡ በዓለ ።
My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
42:4
אֵ֤לֶּה אֶזְכְּרָ֨ה׀ וְאֶשְׁפְּכָ֬ה עָלַ֨י׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י כִּ֤י אֶעֱבֹ֨ר׀ בַּסָּךְ֮ אֶדַּדֵּ֗ם עַד־בֵּ֥ית־אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים בְּקוֹל־רִנָּ֥ה וְתוֹדָ֗ה הָמ֥וֹן חוֹגֵֽג׃
ταῦτα 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
Haec recordatus sum, et effudi in me animam meam, quoniam transibo in locum tabernaculi admirabilis, usque ad domum Dei, in voce exsultationis et confessionis, sonus epulantis.
ለምንት ፡ ትቴክዚ ፡ ነፍስየ ፡ ወለምንት ፡ ተሀውክኒ ፤
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
42:5
מַה־תִּשְׁתּ֬וֹחֲחִ֨י׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ וַתֶּהֱמִ֢י עָ֫לָ֥י הוֹחִ֣לִי לֵ֭אלֹהִים כִּי־ע֥וֹד אוֹדֶ֗נּוּ יְשׁוּע֥וֹת פָּנָֽיו׃
ἵνα τί περίλυπος εἶ ψυχή καὶ ἵνα τί συνταράσσεις με ἔλπισον ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν ὅτι ἐξομολογήσομαι αὐτῷ σωτήριον τοῦ προσώπου μου ὁ θεός μου
Quare tristis es, anima mea ? et quare conturbas me ? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei,
እመኒ ፡ በእግዚአብሔር ፡ ከመ ፡ እገኒ ፡ ሎቱ ፤ መድኀኔ ፡ ገጽየ ፡ አምላኪየ ።
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
42:6
אֱֽלֹהַ֗י עָלַי֮ נַפְשִׁ֢י תִשְׁתּ֫וֹחָ֥ח עַל־כֵּ֗ן אֶ֭זְכׇּרְךָ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ יַרְדֵּ֑ן וְ֝חֶרְמוֹנִ֗ים מֵהַ֥ר מִצְעָֽר׃
πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐταράχθη διὰ τοῦτο μνησθήσομαί σου ἐκ γῆς Ιορδάνου καὶ Ερμωνιιμ ἀπὸ ὄρους μικροῦ
et Deus meus. Ad meipsum anima mea conturbata est : propterea memor ero tui de terra Jordanis et Hermoniim a monte modico.
ተሀውከት ፡ ነፍስየ ፡ በላዕሌየ ፤ በእንተዝ ፡ እዜከረከ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ በምድረ ፡ ዮርዳኖስ ፡ በአርሞንኤም ፡ በደብር ፡ ንኡስ ።
My God, 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.
42:7
תְּהוֹם־אֶל־תְּה֣וֹם ק֭וֹרֵא לְק֣וֹל צִנּוֹרֶ֑יךָ כׇּֽל־מִשְׁבָּרֶ֥יךָ וְ֝גַלֶּ֗יךָ עָלַ֥י עָבָֽרוּ׃
ἄβυσσος ἄβυσσον ἐπικαλεῖται εἰς φωνὴν τῶν καταρρακτῶν σου πάντες οἱ μετεωρισμοί σου καὶ τὰ κύματά σου ἐπ’ ἐμὲ διῆλθον
Abyssus abyssum invocat, in voce cataractarum tuarum ; omnia excelsa tua, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
ቀላይ ፡ ለቀላይ ፡ ትጼውዓ ፡ በቃለ ፡ አስራቢከ ፤
Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.
42:8
יוֹמָ֤ם׀ יְצַוֶּ֬ה יְהֹוָ֨ה׀ חַסְדּ֗וֹ וּ֭בַלַּיְלָה שִׁירֹ֣ה עִמִּ֑י תְּ֝פִלָּ֗ה לְאֵ֣ל חַיָּֽי׃
ἡμέρας ἐντελεῖται κύριος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ καὶ νυκτὸς ᾠδὴ παρ’ ἐμοί προσευχὴ τῷ θεῷ τῆς ζωῆς μου
In die mandavit Dominus misericordiam suam, et nocte canticum ejus ; apud me oratio Deo vitae meae.
ኵሉ ፡ ማዕበልከ ፡ ወሞገድከ ፡ እንተ ፡ ላዕሌየ ፡ ኀለፈ ።
Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.
42:9
אוֹמְרָ֤ה׀ לְאֵ֥ל סַלְעִי֮ לָמָ֢ה שְׁכַ֫חְתָּ֥נִי לָֽמָּה־קֹדֵ֥ר אֵלֵ֗ךְ בְּלַ֣חַץ אוֹיֵֽב׃
ἐρῶ τῷ θεῷ ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου εἶ διὰ τί μου ἐπελάθου ἵνα τί σκυθρωπάζων πορεύομαι ἐν τῷ ἐκθλίβειν τὸν ἐχθρόν μου
Dicam Deo : Susceptor meus es ; quare oblitus es mei ? et quare contristatus incedo, dum affligit me inimicus ?
መዐልተ ፡ ይኤዝዝ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ሣህሎ ፡ ወሌሊተ ፡ ይነብር ፤
I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
42:10
בְּרֶ֤צַח׀ בְּֽעַצְמוֹתַ֗י חֵרְפ֥וּנִי צוֹרְרָ֑י בְּאׇמְרָ֥ם אֵלַ֥י כׇּל־הַ֝יּ֗וֹם אַיֵּ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃
ἐν τῷ καταθλάσαι τὰ ὀστᾶ μου ὠνείδισάν με οἱ θλίβοντές με ἐν τῷ λέγειν αὐτούς μοι καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεός σου
Dum confringuntur ossa mea, exprobraverunt mihi qui tribulant me inimici mei, dum dicunt mihi per singulos dies : Ubi est Deus tuus ?
እምኀቤየ ፡ ብፅአተ ፡ ሕይወትየ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ። እብሎ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ አምላኪየ ፡ አንተ ፡ ለምንት ፡ ትረስዐኒ ፤
As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
42:11
מַה־תִּשְׁתּ֬וֹחֲחִ֨י׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ וּֽמַה־תֶּהֱמִ֢י עָ֫לָ֥י הוֹחִ֣ילִי לֵ֭אלֹהִים כִּי־ע֣וֹד אוֹדֶ֑נּוּ יְשׁוּעֹ֥ת פָּ֝נַ֗י וֵאלֹהָֽי׃ {פ}
ἵνα τί περίλυπος εἶ ψυχή καὶ ἵνα τί συνταράσσεις με ἔλπισον ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν ὅτι ἐξομολογήσομαι αὐτῷ ἡ σωτηρία τοῦ προσώπου μου ὁ θεός μου
Quare tristis es, anima mea ? et quare conturbas me ? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei, et Deus meus.
ለምንት ፡ ተኀድገኒ ፡ ወለምንት ፡ ትኩዝየ ፡ አንሶሱ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ያመነድቡኒ ፡ ፀርየ ። ወያጸንጵዉኒ ፡ አዕጽምትየ ፡ ወይጼእሉኒ ፡ ኵሎሙ ፡ ጸላእትየ ፤ እስመ ፡ ይብሉኒ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ አሚረ ፡ አይቴ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ አምላክከ ። ለምንት ፡ ትቴክዚ ፡ ነፍስየ ፡ ወለምንት ፡ ተሀውክኒ ፤ እመኒ ፡ በእግዚአብሔር ፡ ከመ ፡ እገኒ ፡ ሎቱ ፤ መድኀኔ ፡ ገጽየ ፡ አምላኪየ ።
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.
