Psalms 42
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. As the harte brayeth for the riuers of water, so panteth my soule after thee, O God.
Untuk pemimpin kor. Nyanyian pengajaran kaum Korah. Seperti rusa merindukan air sungai, demikian jiwaku merindukan Engkau, ya Allah.
2 My soule thirsteth for God, euen for the liuing God: when shall I come and appeare before the presence of God?
Aku merindukan Allah yang hidup, kapan aku boleh pergi beribadat di Rumah-Nya?
3 My teares haue bin my meate day and night, while they dayly say vnto me, Where is thy God?
Siang malam aku menangis, hanya air mata makananku. Sepanjang hari musuhku bertanya, "Di mana Allahmu?"
4 When I remembred these things, I powred out my very heart, because I had gone with the multitude, and ledde them into the House of God with the voyce of singing, and prayse, as a multitude that keepeth a feast.
Hatiku sedih kalau teringat waktu dahulu, ketika aku menuju ke Rumah TUHAN bersama orang banyak yang mengadakan perayaan. Aku berjalan di depan perarakan dengan sorak-sorai dan lagu pujian.
5 Why art thou cast downe, my soule, and vnquiet within me? waite on God: for I will yet giue him thankes for the helpe of his presence.
Mengapa hatiku sedih dan gelisah? Aku berharap kepada Allah. Maka aku akan bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, kepada Allahku dan penyelamatku.
6 My God, my soule is cast downe within me, because I remember thee, from the land of Iorden, and Hermonim, and from the mount Mizar.
Di tanah pembuangan ini hatiku remuk redam, sebab itu aku ingat kepada TUHAN. Jiwaku hanyut dalam arus kesedihan, aku dilanda banjir kekacauan; seperti deru air terjun Sungai Yordan dari Gunung Hermon dan Gunung Mizar.
7 One deepe calleth another deepe by the noyse of thy water spoutes: all thy waues and thy floods are gone ouer me.
8 The Lord will graunt his louing kindenesse in the day, and in the night shall I sing of him, euen a prayer vnto the God of my life.
Semoga TUHAN menunjukkan kasih-Nya di waktu siang, agar di waktu malam aku dapat bernyanyi, dan berdoa kepada Allah sumber hidupku.
9 I wil say vnto God, which is my rocke, Why hast thou forgotten mee? why goe I mourning, when the enemie oppresseth me?
Aku berkata kepada Allah, pembelaku, "Mengapa Engkau melupakan daku? Mengapa aku harus terus menderita, karena ditindas oleh musuh-musuhku?"
10 My bones are cut asunder, while mine enemies reproch me, saying dayly vnto me, Where is thy God?
Hatiku hancur luluh karena ejekan musuh. Mereka terus bertanya, "Di mana Allahmu?"
11 Why art thou cast downe, my soule? and why art thou disquieted within mee? waite on God: for I wil yet giue him thankes: he is my present helpe, and my God.
Mengapa hatiku sedih dan gelisah? Aku berharap kepada Allah. Maka aku akan bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, kepada Allahku dan penyelamatku.
