Parallel
Psalms 42
Louis Segond 1910 · Berean Standard Bible
Au chef des chantres. Cantique des fils de Koré.
For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah (note: In many Hebrew manuscripts Psalms 42 and 43 constitute one psalm. Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.). As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.
Comme une biche soupire après des courants d’eau,
My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence (note: Or and see the face of God?)?
Mon âme a soif de Dieu, du Dieu vivant:
My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”
Mes larmes sont ma nourriture jour et nuit,
These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the festive procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.
Je me rappelle avec effusion de cœur
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.
Pourquoi t’abats-tu, mon âme, et gémis-tu au-dedans de moi?
O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—even from Mount Mizar.
Mon âme est abattue au-dedans de moi:
Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.
Un flot appelle un autre flot au bruit de tes ondées;
The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.
Le jour, l’Éternel m’accordait sa grâce;
I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”
Je dis à Dieu, mon rocher: Pourquoi m’oublies-tu?
Like the crushing of my bones, my enemies taunt me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
Mes os se brisent quand mes persécuteurs m’outragent,
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
