Psalm 41 (Septuagint) = Psalm 42 (KJV)
Introduction
This entry meets the strict three-criteria standard of the Theosis Library, with the manuscript text drawn directly from the same source as the scan:
- Manuscript scan: The actual folio of Codex Sinaiticus containing this passage, from the Codex Sinaiticus Project (codexsinaiticus.org). Library folio reference: 98.
- Original text: The verbatim transcription of the Sinaiticus manuscript from the Codex Sinaiticus Project, preserving uncial forms, lunate sigma, nomina sacra (e.g. ⟨θϲ⟩ = θεός), and scribal marks. Nomina sacra are shown in angle brackets to indicate the manuscript's sacred-name abbreviations.
- English translation: The King James Version (1611), retrieved verbatim from the public-domain bible-api.com endpoint.
Numbering: Codex Sinaiticus follows the Septuagint Psalter, in which this is Psalm 41. In the Hebrew and King James numbering the same psalm is Psalm 42. Greek verse numbers follow the Septuagint, which counts the superscription as verse 1; English verse numbers follow the KJV, so they run 1 behind the Greek. The Greek and English in each section are the same words of the same psalm.

1As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 3My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 4When 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.
6ινα τι περιλυποϲ ει η ψυχη μου και ϊνα τι ϲυνταραϲϲειϲ με ελπιϲον επι τον θν οτι εξομολογηϲομαι αυτω ϲωτηριον του προϲωπου ϲου ο θϲ μου 7προϲ εμαυτον η ψυχη μου εταραχθη δια τουτο μνηϲθηϲομαι ϲου κε εκ γηϲ ιορδανου και ερμωνιειμ απο ορουϲ μεικρου 8αβυϲϲοϲ αβυϲϲον επικαλειται ειϲ φωνην των καταρακτων ϲου παντεϲ οι μετεωριϲμοι ϲου και τα κυματα ϲου επ εμε διηλθον 9ημεραϲ εντελειται κϲ το ελεοϲ αυτου και νυκτοϲ δηλωϲει παρ εμοι προϲευχη τω θω τηϲ ζωηϲ μ(ου) 10ερω τω θω αντιλημπτωρ μου ει δια τι μου επελαθου ινα τι ϲκυθρωπαζων πορευομαι εν τω εκθλιβειν τον εχθρον μου
5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 6O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. 7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 8Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. 9I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
11εν τω καταθλαϲαι τα οϲτα μου ωνειδιϲαν με οι θλιβοντεϲ με εν τω λεγειν αυτουϲ μοι κατεκαϲτη ημεραν που εϲτιν ο θϲ ϲου 12ινα τι περιλυποϲ ει η ψυχη και ϊνα τι ϲυνταραϲϲειϲ με ελπιϲον επι τον θν οτι εξομολογηϲομαι αυτω η ϲωτηρια του προϲωπου μου ο θϲ μου
10As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 11Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
