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 end, [a Psalm] for instruction, for the sons of Core. As the hart earnestly desires the fountains of water, so my soul earnestly longs for 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 has thirsted for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

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 bread to me day and night, while they daily said to me, 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。

I remembered these things, and poured out my soul in me, for I will go to the place of your wondrous tabernacle, [even] to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and thanksgiving and of the sound of those who keep festival.

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。

Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; [he is] the salvation of my countenance.

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 has been troubled within me: therefore will I remember you from the land of Jordan, and of the Ermonites, from the little hill.

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 at the voice of your cataracts: all your billows and your waves have gone 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。

By day the Lord will command his mercy, and manifest [it] by night: with me [is] 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 will say to God, You are my helper; why have you forgotten me? therefore do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?

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？

While my bones were breaking, they that afflicted me reproached me; while they said to me daily, 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。

Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; [he is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
