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。

To victorie, to the sones of Chore. As an hert desirith to the wellis of watris; so thou, God, my soule desirith to thee.

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？

Mi soule thirstide to God, `that is a `quik welle; whanne schal Y come, and appere bifor the face of 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。

Mi teeris weren looues to me bi dai and nyyt; while it is seid to me ech dai, Where is thi 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，

I bithouyte of these thingis, and Y schedde out in me my soule; for Y schal passe in to the place of the wondurful tabernacle, til to the hows of God. In the vois of ful out ioiyng and knoulechyng; is the sown of the etere.

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。

Mi soule, whi art thou sory; and whi disturblist thou me? Hope thou in God, for yit Y schal knouleche to hym; he is the helthe of my cheer,

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。

and my God. My soule is disturblid at my silf; therfor, God, Y schal be myndeful of thee fro the lond of Jordan, and fro the litil hil Hermonyim.

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。

Depthe clepith depthe; in the vois of thi wyndows. Alle thin hiye thingis and thi wawis; passiden ouer 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！

The Lord sente his merci in the dai; and his song in the nyyt.

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？

At me is a preier to the God of my lijf; Y schal seie to God, Thou art my `takere vp. Whi foryetist thou me; and whi go Y sorewful, while the enemy turmentith me?

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？」

While my boonys ben brokun togidere; myn enemyes, that troblen me, dispiseden me. While thei seien to me, bi alle daies; Where is thi 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

Mi soule, whi art thou sori; and whi disturblist thou me? Hope thou in God, for yit Y schal knouleche to hym; `he is the helthe of my cheer, and my God.
