Psalms 42

1 For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of the sons of Korah. As a deer longs for flowing streams, so I long for you, 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 I am thirsty for God, the living God. When can I go and see God's face?

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 only food, day and night, while people 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 I am crushed as I remember how I walked with the crowds, leading them in a procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and songs of thanks among the worshipers at the festival.

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 am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God; I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—

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 my God! Even though I am very discouraged, I still remember you: from the land of Jordan and Hermon, and 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 You thunder through the raging waters, through the noise of the waterfalls. Your crashing waves surge over me—I feel like I'm drowning.

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 But every day the Lord shows me his trustworthy love; every night he gives me songs to sing—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 cry out, “My God, my rock, why have you forgotten me? Why must I go around weeping because of the attacks of my enemies?”

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 The mocking of my attackers crushes my bones. They're always asking me, “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 am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God; I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—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。
