Mazmur 42
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Nyanyian pengajaran kaum Korah. Seperti rusa merindukan air sungai, demikian jiwaku merindukan Engkau, ya Allah.
To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2 Aku merindukan Allah yang hidup, kapan aku boleh pergi beribadat di Rumah-Nya?
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3 Siang malam aku menangis, hanya air mata makananku. Sepanjang hari musuhku bertanya, "Di mana Allahmu?"
My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
4 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.
These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.
5 Mengapa hatiku sedih dan gelisah? Aku berharap kepada Allah. Maka aku akan bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, kepada Allahku dan penyelamatku.
Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance.
6 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.
My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
8 Semoga TUHAN menunjukkan kasih-Nya di waktu siang, agar di waktu malam aku dapat bernyanyi, dan berdoa kepada Allah sumber hidupku.
In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the God of my life.
9 Aku berkata kepada Allah, pembelaku, "Mengapa Engkau melupakan daku? Mengapa aku harus terus menderita, karena ditindas oleh musuh-musuhku?"
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 Hatiku hancur luluh karena ejekan musuh. Mereka terus bertanya, "Di mana Allahmu?"
As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
11 Mengapa hatiku sedih dan gelisah? Aku berharap kepada Allah. Maka aku akan bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, kepada Allahku dan penyelamatku.
Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
