uW Translation Notes:

כְּ⁠אַיָּ֗ל תַּעֲרֹ֥ג עַל־אֲפִֽיקֵי־מָ֑יִם כֵּ֤ן נַפְשִׁ֨⁠י תַעֲרֹ֖ג אֵלֶ֣י⁠ךָ אֱלֹהִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: for_the,director maskil of,sons_of Qoraḩ )

The author's situation in which people are oppressing him is being compared to when a deer desires streams of water to drink from because it lives in a dry, desert area. If it would be helpful to your readers, you can state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “In the same way that a deer desires a stream to drink water from because it lives in a desert, so I desire to be rescued by you, God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

נַפְשִׁ֨⁠י תַעֲרֹ֖ג

See the discussion about soul in the general notes. Alternate translation: “I long”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

Pss 42–43 These psalms, like Pss 9 and 10, form a unit comprising a lament with a bittersweet refrain of hope (42:5, 11; 43:5). In many Hebrew manuscripts these two psalms are combined as one. The historical context is uncertain; these psalms might be the voice of God’s people in exile, confessing their loyalty to God as he punishes them for their prevailing apostasy. The psalmist longs for fellowship with God such as he enjoyed in Jerusalem (42:4); his memories only make him more discouraged. As the psalmist cries out to God, he recalls God’s love and faithfulness (42:8), which moves him to plead for vindication (43:1-4).

42:title The descendants of Korah were members of a Levitical choir appointed by David to serve as Temple singers (see 1 Chr 6:22-38; 9:19-34; 2 Chr 20:19). Their ancestor Korah was the apostate who had rebelled against Moses and whom the earth swallowed up (Exod 6:24; Num 16).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
