צָמְאָ֬ה נַפְשִׁ֨י ׀ לֵאלֹהִים֮
(Some words not found in UHB: as,deer longs on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in streams water yes/correct/thus/so soul,my pants for,you ʼElohīm )
The author is using the phrase thirst to mean strongly desire. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “My soul strongly desires God”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
נַפְשִׁ֨י
soul,my
See the discussion about the word soul in the chapter introduction. Alternate translation: “I thirst for God”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לְאֵ֪ל חָ֥י
(Some words not found in UHB: as,deer longs on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in streams water yes/correct/thus/so soul,my pants for,you ʼElohīm )
The author is using the phrase living God to mean that God is the one true God who exists and acts in the world, compared to the other false gods who do nothing. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for the real God”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מָתַ֥י אָב֑וֹא וְ֝אֵרָאֶ֗ה פְּנֵ֣י אֱלֹהִֽים
(Some words not found in UHB: as,deer longs on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in streams water yes/correct/thus/so soul,my pants for,you ʼElohīm )
The author is using the question form to cry out to God. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I greatly want to come and appear before God!”
42:1-4 The psalmist’s longing for God comes from being geographically distant from the Temple as he remembers the past.
• The verb translated longs is found only here and in Joel 1:20 (“cry out”); in both cases it refers to extreme thirst in a waterless desert (see Pss 63:1; 143:6; see also 84:2).

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.
