Psalms 42
1 As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you, O God.
Untuk pemimpin kor. Nyanyian pengajaran kaum Korah. Seperti rusa merindukan air sungai, demikian jiwaku merindukan Engkau, ya Allah.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
Aku merindukan Allah yang hidup, kapan aku boleh pergi beribadat di Rumah-Nya?
3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is your God?
Siang malam aku menangis, hanya air mata makananku. Sepanjang hari musuhku bertanya, "Di mana Allahmu?"
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
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 are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me? hope you in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
Mengapa hatiku sedih dan gelisah? Aku berharap kepada Allah. Maka aku akan bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, kepada Allahku dan penyelamatku.
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember you from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill 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 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterspouts: all your waves and your billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the LORD will command his loving kindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto 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 will say unto God my rock, Why have you forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Aku berkata kepada Allah, pembelaku, "Mengapa Engkau melupakan daku? Mengapa aku harus terus menderita, karena ditindas oleh musuh-musuhku?"
10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is your God?
Hatiku hancur luluh karena ejekan musuh. Mereka terus bertanya, "Di mana Allahmu?"
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope you in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
Mengapa hatiku sedih dan gelisah? Aku berharap kepada Allah. Maka aku akan bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, kepada Allahku dan penyelamatku.
