Shem Tob's Hebrew Matthew (1400)
ShemTob
The Septuagint in English by Brenton
LXX(EN)
[For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Core.]
[No book] [1]As the hart earnestly desires the fountains of water, so my soul earnestly longs for thee, O God.
[No book] [2]My soul has thirsted for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
[No book] [3]My tears have been bread to me day and night, while they daily said to me, Where is thy God?
[No book] [4]I remembered these things, and poured out my soul in me, for I will go to the place of thy wondrous tabernacle, even to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and thanksgiving and of the sound of those who keep festival.
[No book] [5]Wherefore art thou very sad, O my soul? and wherefore dost thou trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; he is the salvation of my countenance.
[No book] [6]O my God, my soul has been troubled within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Ermonites, from the little hill.
[No book] [7]Deep calls to deep at the voice of thy cataracts: all thy billows and thy waves have gone over me.
[No book] [8]By day the Lord will command his mercy, and manifest it by night: with me is prayer to the God of my life.
[No book] [9]I will say to God, Thou art my helper; why hast thou forgotten me? wherefore do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses me?
[No book] [10]While my bones were breaking, they that afflicted me reproached me; while they said to me daily, Where is thy God?
[No book] [11]Wherefore art thou very sad, O my soul? and wherefore dost thou trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; he is the health of my countenance, and my God.
