< Psalms 42 >
1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
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。
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
我的心渴想 神,就是永生 神; 我几时得朝见 神呢?
3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
我昼夜以眼泪当饮食; 人不住地对我说:你的 神在哪里呢?
4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
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。
5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
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。
6 My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.
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。
7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.
你的瀑布发声,深渊就与深渊响应; 你的波浪洪涛漫过我身。
8 GOD will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.
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。
9 I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
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?
10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
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?
11 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.
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。
