HOLY BIBLE: Psalm 42 (original) (raw)

2 ὃν τρόπον ἐπιποθεῖ ἡ ἔλαφος ἐπὶ τὰς πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων οὕτως ἐπιποθεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου πρὸς σέ ὁ θεός 3 ἐδίψησεν ἡ ψυχή μου πρὸς τὸν θεὸν τὸν ζῶντα πότε ἥξω καὶ ὀφθήσομαι τῷ προσώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ 4 ἐγενήθη μοι τὰ δάκρυά μου ἄρτος ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαί μοι κα{Q'} ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεός σου 5 ταῦτα ἐμνήσθην καὶ ἐξέχεα ἐ{P'} ἐμὲ τὴν ψυχήν μου ὅτι διελεύσομαι ἐν τόπῳ σκηνῆς θαυμαστῆς ἕως τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν φωνῇ ἀγαλλιάσεως καὶ ἐξομολογήσεως ἤχου ἑορτάζοντος 6 ἵνα τί περίλυπος εἶ ψυχή καὶ ἵνα τί συνταράσσεις με ἔλπισον ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν ὅτι ἐξομολογήσομαι αὐτῷ σωτήριον τοῦ προσώπου μου ὁ θεός μου

2 O God, my whole soul longs for thee, as a deer for running water; 3 my whole soul thirsts for God, the living God; shall I never again make my pilgrimage into God’s presence? 4 Morning and evening, my diet still of tears! Daily I must listen to the taunt, Where is thy God now? 5 Memories come back to me yet, melting the heart; how once I would join with the throng, leading the way to God’s house, amid cries of joy and thanksgiving, and all the bustle of holiday. 6 Soul, art thou still downcast? Wilt thou never be at peace? Wait for God’s help; I will not cease to cry out in thankfulness, My champion and my God.

2 Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquarum,
ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus. 3
Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fortem, vivum;
quando veniam, et apparebo ante faciem Dei? 4
Fuerunt mihi lacrimæ meæ panes die ac nocte,
dum dicitur mihi quotidie: Ubi est Deus tuus? 5
Hæc 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. 6
Quare tristis es, anima mea?
et quare conturbas me?
Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi,
salutare vultus mei,
