詩篇 42

1 科辣黑後裔的訓誨，交與樂官。 天主，我的心靈渴慕你，好像牝鹿渴慕溪水。

For the Chief Musician. Maschil of the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2 我的心靈渴慕天主，生活的天主：我何時能目睹天主的儀容？

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: When shall I come and appear before God?

3 有人終日向我說：你的天主在那裏？我的眼淚竟變成了我晝夜的飲食。

My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

4 我想起昔日周旋在歡樂的群眾裏，在群眾歡呼讚頌的歌聲裏，他們朝覲天主聖殿時，我的心不免感到憂傷哀悲，

These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

5 我的靈魂，你為何悲傷，為何憂苦？期望天主！因為我還要向祂頌祝，因為祂是我的救援，我的天主。

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And [why] art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him [For] the help of his countenance.

6 我自約旦地，從赫爾孟山，由小丘陵，一想起你來，我的靈魂即惴惴不寧。

O my God, my soul is cast down within me: Therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

7 在你瀑布的巨聲下，深淵與深淵哈唱；你所有的洪濤巨浪，都沖擊在我身上。

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

8 但願上主在白晝頒賜祂的恩愛慈惠，我夜間向賜我生命的天主歌頌讚美！

[Yet] Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time; And in the night his song shall be with me, [Even] a prayer unto the God of my life.

9 我對天主說：我的磐石你為何將我遺忘？為何我應常在仇人的壓迫下徘徊沮喪？

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

10 我仇敵欺凌我時，我覺得痛入骨髓，他們終日對我說：「你的天主在那裏？」

As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

11 我的靈魂，你為何悲傷，為何憂苦？期望天主！因為我還要向祂頌祝，因為天主是我的救援，是我的天主

Why 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 help of my countenance, and my God.
