Immersing in Hebrew: deep calls unto deep, Psalm 42

Psalm 42: 8-9
"Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me. The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me—A prayer to the God of my life."
The word translated here as 'waterfalls' is actually צִנּוֹרֶיךָ tzinoreeka which means 'cataracts' : a descent of water over a steep surface; a waterfall, esp.one of considerable size; any furious rush or downpour of water; deluge.

deep to deep calls
תְּהוֹם-אֶל-תְּהוֹם קוֹרֵא
tehome el tehome koreh

of the sound Your cataracts
לְקוֹל צִנּוֹרֶיךָ
l'kole tzinoreeka

The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.
יוֹמָם, יְצַוֶּה יְהוָה חַסְדּוֹ, וּבַלַּיְלָה, שִׁירֹה עִמִּי
תְּפִלָּה, לְאֵל חַיָּי
yo·v·mam ye·tzav·veh ha·shem chas·dov u·val·lay·lah ch shi·rah k shi·rov im·mi te·fil·lah le·'el chai·yai.
