詩篇 42

1 可拉後裔的訓誨詩，交與伶長。 上帝啊，我的心切慕你， 如鹿切慕溪水。

For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites. Like the hart which longs for brooks of water, I long for you, God.

2 我的心渴想上帝，就是永生上帝； 我幾時得朝見上帝呢？

I thirst for God, for my living God. When shall I enter in, and see the face of God?

3 我晝夜以眼淚當飲食； 人不住地對我說：你的上帝在哪裏呢？

My tears have been my food by day and by night; for they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”

4 我從前與眾人同往， 用歡呼稱讚的聲音 領他們到上帝的殿裏，大家守節。 我追想這些事， 我的心極其悲傷。

My heart floods with sorrow, as I call to mind: how I used to pass on with the throng, at their head, to the house of God, with glad shouts and giving of thanks, in the throng who kept festival.

5 我的心哪，你為何憂悶？ 為何在我裏面煩躁？ 應當仰望上帝，因他笑臉幫助我； 我還要稱讚他。

Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.

6 我的上帝啊，我的心在我裏面憂悶， 所以我從約旦地， 從黑門嶺，從米薩山記念你。

I am sunk in my misery; I will therefore call you to mind from the land of Jordan and Hermon, the mountain Mizar.

7 你的瀑布發聲，深淵就與深淵響應； 你的波浪洪濤漫過我身。

Flood is calling to flood at the noise of your cataracts; all your waves and your breakers have passed over me.

8 白晝，耶和華必向我施慈愛； 黑夜，我要歌頌禱告賜我生命的上帝。

In the day I cry to the Lord to summon his kindness; and the song that I sing in the night is a prayer to the living God.

9 我要對上帝－我的磐石說： 你為何忘記我呢？ 我為何因仇敵的欺壓時常哀痛呢？

I say to God my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?”

10 我的敵人辱罵我， 好像打碎我的骨頭， 不住地對我說： 你的上帝在哪裏呢？

It pierces me to the heart to hear the enemy’s taunts, as all the day long they say to me, “Where is your God?”

11 我的心哪，你為何憂悶？ 為何在我裏面煩躁？ 應當仰望上帝，因我還要稱讚他。 他是我臉上的光榮，是我的上帝。

Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.
