Psalms 42

1 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.

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。

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

我的心渴想上帝，就是永生上帝； 我幾時得朝見上帝呢？

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

我晝夜以眼淚當飲食； 人不住地對我說：你的上帝在哪裏呢？

4 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.

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。

5 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.

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。

6 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.

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。

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

你的瀑布發聲，深淵就與深淵響應； 你的波浪洪濤漫過我身。

8 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.

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。

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

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？

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

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？

11 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.

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。
