Psalmes 42

P S A L. XLI.

1 Gods care of the poore. 4 Dauid complaineth of his enemies trecherie. 10 He flyeth to God for succour.

¶ [fn][fn]To the chiefe Musician. A Psalme of Dauid.

XLII ¶ Blessed is he that considereth the poore; the LORD will deliuer him in time of trouble. 2 [fn]The LORD will preserue him, and keepe him aliue, and he shall be blessed vpon the earth; and thou wilt not deliuer him vnto the will of his enemies. 3 [fn]The LORD will strengthen him vpon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sicknesse. 4 I sayd, LORD be mercifull vnto me, heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee. 5 Mine enemies speake euill of me: when shall hee die, and his name perish? 6 And if hee come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquitie to it selfe, when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 7 [fn]All that hate me, whisper together against me; against me doe they deuise my hurt. 8 [fn]An euill disease, say they, cleaueth fast vnto him; and now that he lyeth, he shall rise vp no more. 9 [ref][fn][fn]Yea mine owne familiar friend in whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lift vp his heele against me. 10 But thou, O LORD, be mercifull vnto mee, and raise me vp that I may requite them. 11 By this I know that thou fauourest me: because mine enemie doeth not triumph ouer me. 12 And as for me, thou vpholdest me in mine integritie; and settest me before thy face for euer. 13 Blessed bee the LORD God of Israel, from euerlasting, and to euerlasting. Amen, and Amen.

P S A L. XLII.

1 Dauids zeale to serue God in the Temple. 5 He incourageth his soule to trust in God.

¶ [fn]To the chiefe Musician, Maschil, for the sonnes of Korah.

XLII ¶ As the Hart panteth after the water brookes, so panteth my soule after thee, O God. 2 My soule thirsteth for God, for the liuing God: when shall I come and appeare before God? 3 [ref]My teares haue bene my meate day and night; while they continually say vnto me, Where is thy God? 4 When I remember these things, I powre out my soule in mee; for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God; with the voyce of ioy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day. 5 [fn][fn][fn]Why art thou cast downe, O my soule, and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him for the helpe of his countenance. 6 [fn]O my God, my soule is cast downe within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Iordane, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Missar. 7 Deepe calleth vnto deepe at the noyse of thy water-spouts: all thy waues, and thy billowes are gone ouer me. 8 Yet the LORD will command his louing kindnes in the day time, and in the night his song shalbe with me, and my prayer vnto the God of my life. 9 I will say vnto God, My rocke, why hast thou forgotten me? why goe I mourning, because of the oppression of the enemy? 10 [fn]As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproch mee: while they say dayly vnto me, Where is thy God? 11 Why art thou cast downe, O my soule? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
