1 As the deer irag (pants) for the mayam (Waters) apayaqay (brooks), so my napash (soul) irag (pants) after you, Alahayam ().
2 My napash (soul) tzamaa (thirsts) for Alahayam (), for the chay (life) Al. When shall I bawaa (come) and raah (see) panayam (face) Alahayam ()?
3 My damaih (tears) have been my lacham (food) yawamam (by day) and layal (night), yawam (day) they continually ask me, “Where is your Alahayam ()?”
4 These things I zakar (remember), and shapak (pour) out my napash (soul) within me, how I used to ibar (pass over/through) with the crowd, and led them to the bayath (house) of Alahayam (), with the qawal (sound / voice) of ranah (joy) and thawadah (praise), a hamawan (multitude) chagag (keeping) a holy day.
5 Why are you in despair, my napash (soul)? Why are you disturbed within me? Yachal (hope) in Alahayam ()! For I shall still yadah (praise) him for the yashawaih (salvation) help of his panayam (face).
6 My Alahayam (), my napash (soul) is in despair within me. Therefore I zakar (remember) you from the aratz (Earth/land) of the Yaradan (Jordan), the heights of Charamawanayam (Hermon), from the har (mountain) matzair (mizar).
7 Thahawam (depths) qaraa (called) to thahawam (depths) at the qawal (sound / voice) of your waterfalls. All your mashabar (waves) and your gal (billows) ibar (pass over/through) swept over me.
8 Yahawah () will tzawah (command) his loving chasad (grace) in the yawamam (by day). In the layal (night) his shayar (song) shall be with me: a thapalah (prayer) to the Al of my chay (life).
9 I will ask Al, my salai (rock), “Why have you shakach (forgotten) me? Why do I yalak (go) qadar (mourning) because of the lachatz (oppression) of the ayab (enemy)?”
10 As with a ratzach (sword) in my itzam (bones), my tzarar (adversaries) charap (reproach) me, yawam (day) they continually ask me, “Where is your Alahayam ()?”
11 Why are you in despair, my napash (soul)? Why are you disturbed within me? Yachal (hope) in Alahayam ()! For I shall still yadah (praise) him, the yashawaih (salvation) help of my panayam (face), and my Alahayam ().
