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.

ああ神よしかの渓水をしたひ喘ぐがごとく わが霊魂もなんぢをしたひあへぐなり

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

わがたましひは渇けるごとくに神をしたふ 活神をぞしたふ 何れのときにか我ゆきて神のみまへにいでん

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

かれらが終日われにむかひて なんぢの神はいづくにありやとののしる間はただわが涙のみ晝夜そそぎてわが糧なりき

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.

われむかし群をなして祭日をまもる衆人とともにゆき歓喜と讃美のこゑをあげてかれらを神の家にともなへり 今これらのことを追想してわが衷よりたましひを注ぎいだすなり

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.

ああわが霊魂よ なんぢ何ぞうなたるるや なんぞわが衷におもひみだるるや なんぢ神をまちのぞめ われに聖顔のたすけありて我なほわが神をほめたたふべければなり

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.

わが神よわがたましひはわが衷にうなたる 然ばわれヨルダンの地よりヘルモンよりミザルの山より汝をおもひいづ

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

なんぢの大瀑のひびきによりて淵々よびこたへ なんぢの波なんぢの猛浪ことごとくわが上をこえゆけり

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.

然はあれど晝はヱホバその憐憫をほどこしたまふ 夜はその歌われとともにあり 此うたはわがいのちの神にささぐる祈なり

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

われわが磐なる神にいはん なんぞわれを忘れたまひしや なんぞわれは仇のしへたげによりて悲しみありくや

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

わが骨もくだくるばかりにわがてきはひねもす我にむかひて なんぢの神はいづくにありやといひののしりつつ我をそしれり

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.

ああわがたましひよ 汝なんぞうなたるるや 何ぞわがうちに思ひみだるるや なんぢ神をまちのぞめ われ尚わがかほの助なるわが神をほめたたふべければなり
