42:1As a deer1 longs2 for streams of water,

so I long3 for you, O God!

Read in Logos
Psalm 42:1: As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.

Footnotes

  1. 1 Since the accompanying verb is feminine in form, the noun אָיִּל (’ayyil, “male deer”) should be emended to אַיֶּלֶת (’ayyelet, “female deer”). Haplography of the letter tav has occurred; note that the following verb begins with tav.
  2. 2 Or “pants [with thirst].”
  3. 3 Or “my soul pants [with thirst].” The Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) with a pronominal suffix is often equivalent to a pronoun, especially in poetry (see 660 נֶפֶשׁ 4.a).
