Psalms 42

1 [For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.] As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.

可拉后裔的训诲诗，交与伶长。 神啊，我的心切慕你， 如鹿切慕溪水。

2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

我的心渴想 神，就是永生 神； 我几时得朝见 神呢？

3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"

我昼夜以眼泪当饮食； 人不住地对我说：你的 神在哪里呢？

4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go in the tent of the Majestic One, to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.

我从前与众人同往， 用欢呼称赞的声音 领他们到 神的殿里，大家守节。 我追想这些事， 我的心极其悲伤。

5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I will again give him thanks, my saving presence and my God.

我的心哪，你为何忧闷？ 为何在我里面烦躁？ 应当仰望 神，因他笑脸帮助我； 我还要称赞他。

6 My soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.

我的 神啊，我的心在我里面忧闷， 所以我从约旦地， 从黑门岭，从米萨山记念你。

7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your breakers and waves have swept over me.

你的瀑布发声，深渊就与深渊响应； 你的波浪洪涛漫过我身。

8 Jehovah will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.

白昼，耶和华必向我施慈爱； 黑夜，我要歌颂祷告赐我生命的 神。

9 I will ask God, my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

我要对 神—我的磐石说： 你为何忘记我呢？ 我为何因仇敌的欺压时常哀痛呢？

10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"

我的敌人辱骂我， 好像打碎我的骨头， 不住地对我说： 你的 神在哪里呢？

11 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I will again give him thanks, my saving presence and my God.

我的心哪，你为何忧闷？ 为何在我里面烦躁？ 应当仰望 神，因我还要称赞他。 他是我脸上的光荣，是我的 神。
