(UKJV - Anglický - Updated King James)

Ž 42, 1-11

1 As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is your God? 4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me? hope you in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember you from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. 7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterspouts: all your waves and your billows are gone over me. 8 Yet the LORD will command his loving kindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. 9 I will say unto God my rock, Why have you forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 10 "As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is your God? " 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope you in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Verš 9

I will say unto God my rock, Why have you forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Ž 35:14 - I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourns for his mother.

Ž 38:6 - "I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. "

Ž 43:2 - For you are the God of my strength: why do you cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Verš 2

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

Ž 63:1 - "O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; "

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is your God?

Ž 80:5 - "You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure. "

Verš 5

Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me? hope you in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

Ž 43:5 - Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Z 42 - Lenže niekde by sa toto vysvetlenie nezhodovalo s obsahom žalmu, a preto niektorí autori (Herkenne, 11) navrhujú zmysel "nábožná, pobožná pieseň". Autorom žalmu je jeden zo synov Koreho, potomok onoho Koreho, ktorý bol tak prísne potrestaný pre odboj voči Mojžišovi (Nm 16,1 n.). Synovia Koreho boli leviti a za Dávidových časov tvorili skupinu spevákov svätostánku. Jeden z nich, Heman (1 Krn 25,6), bol majstrom chóru. Rodina Kore prežila aj babylonské zajatie, a preto pri označovaní autorstva menom "Koreho synov" nemáme vždy zodpovedanú otázku, kedy ktorý žalm vznikol. V tejto Knihe sa synom Koreho pripisujú žalmy 42 - 49, z Tretej knihy 84 - 85 a 87 - 88. Korachitské žalmy sú obsahove, štýlovo najkrajšie čiastky starozákonnej lyriky; precítenou láskou lipnú ku svätostánku a svätému mestu.Žalmy 42 a 43 sú vlastne jedným žalmom. Rozdelenie jedného žalmu na dva nastalo pravdepodobne z dôvodov liturgických. Ak korachitské žalmy vynikajú krásou obsahu a formy, tento žalm je perlou Druhej knihy žaltára.Kedy žalm vznikol, ťažko určiť. Je isté, že to bolo ešte pred babylonským zajatím, pretože sa v žalme predpokladá jestvovanie svätostánku (42,3 a 43,3), a po Šalamúnovi, lebo je tu reč o Pánovom chráme (42,5).

Z 42,7 - Svoje spomienky a túžbu po svätyni vysiela "od Jordána a Hermonu". Hermon je horstvo asi 30 km dlhé a dosahuje výšku 2760 m. "Misar" je pravdepodobne dnešný Zá'órah, 3 km južne od Bániás, kde je najväčší prameň Jordána. Toto naznačuje, že žalmista sa zdržuje v okolí prameňov Jordána, teda v severnej čiastke Palestíny.

Z 42,8 - Jordán má mnoho vodopádov na svojom hornom toku.
