Psalms 42
1 For the chief musician. A maschil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants after streams of water, so I thirst for you, God.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Nyanyian pengajaran bani Korah. Seperti rusa yang merindukan sungai yang berair, demikianlah jiwaku merindukan Engkau, ya Allah.
2 I thirst for God, for the living God, when will I come and appear before God?
Jiwaku haus kepada Allah, kepada Allah yang hidup. Bilakah aku boleh datang melihat Allah?
3 My tears have been my food day and night, while my enemies are always saying to me, “Where is your God?”
Air mataku menjadi makananku siang dan malam, karena sepanjang hari orang berkata kepadaku: "Di mana Allahmu?"
4 These things I call to mind as I pour out my soul: how I went with the throng and led them to the house of God with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude celebrating a festival.
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 Why are you bowed down, my soul? Why are you upset within me? Hope in God, for again I will praise him who is my salvation.
Mengapa engkau tertekan, hai jiwaku, dan gelisah di dalam diriku? Berharaplah kepada Allah! Sebab aku akan bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, penolongku dan Allahku!
6 My God, my soul is bowed down within me, therefore I call you to mind from the land of the Jordan, from the three peaks of Mount Hermon, and from the hill of Mizar.
Jiwaku tertekan dalam diriku, sebab itu aku teringat kepada-Mu dari tanah sungai Yordan dan pegunungan Hermon, dari gunung Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls; all your waves and your billows have gone over me.
Samudera raya berpanggil-panggilan dengan deru air terjun-Mu; segala gelora dan gelombang-Mu bergulung melingkupi aku.
8 Yet Yahweh will command his covenant faithfulness in the daytime; in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
TUHAN memerintahkan kasih setia-Nya pada siang hari, dan pada malam hari aku menyanyikan nyanyian, suatu doa kepada Allah kehidupanku.
9 I will say to God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
Aku berkata kepada Allah, gunung batuku: "Mengapa Engkau melupakan aku? Mengapa aku harus hidup berkabung di bawah impitan musuh?"
10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries rebuke me, while they always say to me, “Where is your God?”
Seperti tikaman maut ke dalam tulangku lawanku mencela aku, sambil berkata kepadaku sepanjang hari: "Di mana Allahmu?"
11 Why are you bowed down, my soul? Why are you upset within me? Hope in God, for again I will praise him who is my salvation and my God.
Mengapa engkau tertekan, hai jiwaku, dan mengapa engkau gelisah di dalam diriku? Berharaplah kepada Allah! Sebab aku bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, penolongku dan Allahku!
