Psalms 41 CPDV

¹ Unto the end. The understanding of the sons of Korah.

² As the deer longs for fountains of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.

³ My soul has thirsted for the strong living God.When will I draw close and appear before the face of God?

⁴ My tears have been my bread, day and night.Meanwhile, it is said to me daily: 'Where is your God?'

⁵ These things I have remembered; and my soul within me, I have poured out.For I will cross into the place of the wonderful tabernacle,all the way to the house of God,with a voice of exultation and confession, the sound of feasting.

⁶ Why are you sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me?Hope in God, for I will still confess to him:the salvation of my countenance,

⁷ and my God. My soul has been troubled within myself.Because of this, I will remember you from the land of the Jordan and from Hermon, from the little mountain.

⁸ Abyss calls upon abyss, with the voice of your floodgate.All your heights and your waves have passed over me.

⁹ In the daylight, the Lord has ordered his mercy;and in the night, a canticle to him.With me is a prayer to the God of my life.

¹⁰ I will say to God, 'You are my supporter. Why have you forgotten me?And why do I walk in mourning, while my adversary afflicts me?'

¹¹ While my bones are being broken, my enemies,who trouble me, have reproached me.Meanwhile, they say to me every single day, 'Where is your God?'

¹² My soul, why are you saddened? And why do you disquiet me?Hope in God, for I will still confess to him:the salvation of my countenance and my God.
