Psalms 42
1 To the Chief Musician. An Instructive Psalm for the Sons of Korah. As, the hart, cometh panting up to the channels of water, So my soul, panteth for thee, O God.
科辣黑後裔的訓誨，交與樂官。 天主，我的心靈渴慕你，好像牝鹿渴慕溪水。
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for a GOD who liveth, —When shall I enter in, and see the face of God?
我的心靈渴慕天主，生活的天主：我何時能目睹天主的儀容？
3 My tears have been my food day and night, While it hath been said unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
有人終日向我說：你的天主在那裏？我的眼淚竟變成了我晝夜的飲食。
4 These things, I keep calling to mind, and pouring out, over me, my own soul, For I used to cross over with a crowd, Lead them in procession up to the house of God, With the voice of shouting and praise.—a throng keeping festival.
我想起昔日周旋在歡樂的群眾裏，在群眾歡呼讚頌的歌聲裏，他們朝覲天主聖殿時，我的心不免感到憂傷哀悲，
5 Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And [why] shouldst thou moan over me? Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence.
我的靈魂，你為何悲傷，為何憂苦？期望天主！因為我還要向祂頌祝，因為祂是我的救援，我的天主。
6 My God! over myself, my soul is cast down, —For this cause, will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
我自約旦地，從赫爾孟山，由小丘陵，一想起你來，我的靈魂即惴惴不寧。
7 Roaring deep unto roaring deep, is calling, at the voice of thy cataracts, All thy breakers and thy rolling waves, over me, have passed.
在你瀑布的巨聲下，深淵與深淵哈唱；你所有的洪濤巨浪，都沖擊在我身上。
8 By day, will Yahweh command his lovingkindness, And, in the night, shall His song be with me, My prayer be to the GOD of my life.
但願上主在白晝頒賜祂的恩愛慈惠，我夜間向賜我生命的天主歌頌讚美！
9 I will say onto GOD, —my rock, Wherefore hast thou forgotten me? Wherefore in gloom should I go, because of oppression by the enemy?
我對天主說：我的磐石你為何將我遺忘？為何我應常在仇人的壓迫下徘徊沮喪？
10 With a crushing of my bones, have my adversaries reproached me, —While they keep saying unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
我仇敵欺凌我時，我覺得痛入骨髓，他們終日對我說：「你的天主在那裏？」
11 Why shouldst thou be sat down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me? Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence and my God.
我的靈魂，你為何悲傷，為何憂苦？期望天主！因為我還要向祂頌祝，因為天主是我的救援，是我的天主
