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。

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2 我的心渴想 神，就是永生 神； 我几时得朝见 神呢？

My soul thirsteth for God, 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 my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy 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。

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

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 art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his 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 is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill 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 calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are 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。

Yet Yhwh will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto 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 unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

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？

As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy 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 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 health of my countenance, and my God.
