诗篇 42

1 可拉后裔的训诲诗，交与伶长。 神啊，我的心切慕你， 如鹿切慕溪水。

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.

2 我的心渴想 神，就是永生 神； 我几时得朝见 神呢？

My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?

3 我昼夜以眼泪当饮食； 人不住地对我说：你的 神在哪里呢？

My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”

4 我从前与众人同往， 用欢呼称赞的声音 领他们到 神的殿里，大家守节。 我追想这些事， 我的心极其悲伤。

These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.

5 我的心哪，你为何忧闷？ 为何在我里面烦躁？ 应当仰望 神，因他笑脸帮助我； 我还要称赞他。

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.

6 我的 神啊，我的心在我里面忧闷， 所以我从约旦地， 从黑门岭，从米萨山记念你。

O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon— even from Mount Mizar.

7 你的瀑布发声，深渊就与深渊响应； 你的波浪洪涛漫过我身。

Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.

8 白昼，耶和华必向我施慈爱； 黑夜，我要歌颂祷告赐我生命的 神。

The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.

9 我要对 神—我的磐石说： 你为何忘记我呢？ 我为何因仇敌的欺压时常哀痛呢？

I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”

10 我的敌人辱骂我， 好像打碎我的骨头， 不住地对我说： 你的 神在哪里呢？

Like the crushing of my bones, my enemies taunt me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

11 我的心哪，你为何忧闷？ 为何在我里面烦躁？ 应当仰望 神，因我还要称赞他。 他是我脸上的光荣，是我的 神。

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
