- 1. {To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.}<br>
As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. - 2. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living �God: when shall I come and appear before God?
- 3. My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
- 4. These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.
- 5. Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance.
- 6. My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.
- 7. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
- 8. In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the �God of my life.
- 9. I will say unto �God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
- 10. As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
- 11. Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
1."Вступись в тяжбу мою с народом недобрым". Писатель сознает свою невиновность перед преследователями и просит Бога о разбирательстве своего дела. "Народ недобрый" - все, восставшие на Давида и приверженцев его, т. е. сторонники Авессалома. "Под человеком лукавым" можно разуметь Авессалома, возбуждавшего народ ложными обвинениями на Давида.3."Пошли свет Твой и истину Твою" - пошли Твою милость ("свет"), защити от врагов. "Истина" - верность обетованиям и откровению, по которым праведник заслуживает награды, а грешник - кары. По исполнении этого обетования писатель надеется снова быть на горе Сион в "обителях" Господа, т. е. - при скинии, в местах обитания Господа.
