Psalms 42
1 Deer pant, desiring to drink water from a stream [when there is a drought] (OR, [when they are being pursued by hunters].) In the same way [SIM], God, I need you very much.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Nyanyian pengajaran bani Korah. Seperti rusa yang merindukan sungai yang berair, demikianlah jiwaku merindukan Engkau, ya Allah.
2 I desire to have fellowship with [MET] you, the all-powerful God. [I wonder], “When will I be able to go [back to the temple in Israel] and worship in your presence again?”
Jiwaku haus kepada Allah, kepada Allah yang hidup. Bilakah aku boleh datang melihat Allah?
3 Every day and every night I cry; [it is as though] the only thing I have to drink is my tears; and while I do that, my enemies are continually asking me, “Why does your god not [help you]?”
Air mataku menjadi makananku siang dan malam, karena sepanjang hari orang berkata kepadaku: "Di mana Allahmu?"
4 I am very distressed [IDM] as I remember when I went with the crowd of people to the temple [in Jerusalem], leading them as we walked along; we were all shouting joyfully and singing to thank God [for what he had done]; we were a large group who were celebrating.
Inilah yang hendak kuingat, sementara jiwaku gundah-gulana; bagaimana aku berjalan maju dalam kepadatan manusia, mendahului mereka melangkah ke rumah Allah dengan suara sorak-sorai dan nyanyian syukur, dalam keramaian orang-orang yang mengadakan perayaan.
5 So [I say to] myself, “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to help me], and again I will praise him, my God, the one who saves me.”
Mengapa engkau tertekan, hai jiwaku, dan gelisah di dalam diriku? Berharaplah kepada Allah! Sebab aku akan bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, penolongku dan Allahku!
6 [But now, Yahweh], I am very discouraged [IDM], so I think about you, even from where the Jordan [River] gushes out from the bottom of Hermon [Mountain] and from Mizar Mountain.
Jiwaku tertekan dalam diriku, sebab itu aku teringat kepada-Mu dari tanah sungai Yordan dan pegunungan Hermon, dari gunung Mizar.
7 But here, the great sorrow that I feel is like water that you send down [MET]; [it is like] a waterfall that tumbles down and floods over me.
Samudera raya berpanggil-panggilan dengan deru air terjun-Mu; segala gelora dan gelombang-Mu bergulung melingkupi aku.
8 Yahweh shows me each day that he faithfully loves me, and each night I sing to him and pray to him, the God who causes me to live.
TUHAN memerintahkan kasih setia-Nya pada siang hari, dan pada malam hari aku menyanyikan nyanyian, suatu doa kepada Allah kehidupanku.
9 I say to God, [who is like] an [overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET], “It seems that you have forgotten me. I (mourn/cry) constantly because my enemies act cruelly toward me” [RHQ].
Aku berkata kepada Allah, gunung batuku: "Mengapa Engkau melupakan aku? Mengapa aku harus hidup berkabung di bawah impitan musuh?"
10 They make fun of me constantly; they continually ask, “Why does your god not help you?” [RHQ] And when they insult me [like that], [it is like] wounds that I feel even in my bones.
Seperti tikaman maut ke dalam tulangku lawanku mencela aku, sambil berkata kepadaku sepanjang hari: "Di mana Allahmu?"
11 But [I think, ] “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I will confidently expect God [to help me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.”
Mengapa engkau tertekan, hai jiwaku, dan mengapa engkau gelisah di dalam diriku? Berharaplah kepada Allah! Sebab aku bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, penolongku dan Allahku!
