Ka’ayal Ta’arog (As the Deer Longs) by Nomi Teplow

Feb 2, 2016

לַמְנַצֵּחַ מַשְׂכִּיל לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח׃

For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites.

Psalms 42:1

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.

Psalms 42:12

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?
