Ka’ayal Ta’arog (As the Deer Longs) by Nomi Teplow
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מַשְׂכִּיל לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח׃ For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites. מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי נַפְשִׁי וּמַה־תֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִילִי לֵאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעֹת פָּנַי וֵאלֹהָי׃ Why so downcast, my soul, why disquieted within me? Have hope in Hashem; I will yet praise Him, my ever-present help, my God.
Sing along in Hebrew to “Ka’ayal Ta’arog” performed by Nomi Teplow. The lyrics are taken from Psalm 42.
Lyrics:
ke’ayal ta’arog al afeekay mayeem
As the deer longs for brooks of water
ken nafshee ta’arog eh-lekha elokeem
so my soul longs for You, O God.
tzamah nafshee la’elokeem l’el khai
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God
matai avoh ve’erah-eh p’nei elokeem
when shall I come and appear before God?
