42ú Salm - 42th Psalm

St. Patrick is said to have conceiled himself and his followers as deer when ambushes were laid against his coming to Tara to sow the Faith. Those who were lying in ambush saw only wild deer (St. Patrick and the monks)... Deerscry

As the deer longs for running water, so longs my soul for you, my God ...Psalm 42.

aoi mar a shantaíonn an eilit
na sruthanna uisce
is amhlaidh a shantaíonn m’anam
thusa, a Dhia.

.

As the deer longs for the running waters,
So my soul longs for you, O God

2 Tá cíocras chun Dé ar m’anam
chun Dé bheo;
cá huair a thiocfaidh mé go bhfeicfidh mé
gnúis mo Dhé.

My soul thirsts for God
the living God.
When shall I go and behold
the face of God?

4 Is iad mo dheora is bia dom
de lá agus d’oíche
nuair a fhiafraítear díom in aghaidh an lae:
Cá bhfuil do Dhia?

My tears are my food day and night,
as they say to me day after day,
"Where is your God?"

5 Ar na nithe seo a dhéanaim mo mhachnamh
nuair a chuirim mo racht díom:
mar a ghluaisinn i dtosach an tslua
ag triall ar theach Dé dom,
le gártha gairdis agus molta
i ndáil fleá agus féile.

Those times I recall, now that I pour forth
my soul within me. When I went with the throng and led them in procession to the house of God,
amid loud cries of joy and thanksgiving,
with the multitude keeping festival.

6 Cén fáth a bhfuil tú buartha, a anam liom,
faoi mhíshuaimhneas istigh ionam?
Cuir do dhóchas i nDia; molfaidh mé go fóill é;
mo shlánaitheoir agus mo Dhia é.

Why are you so downcast, O my soul?
Why do you sigh within me?
Hope in God for I shall again be thanking him
in the presence of my savior and my God,
