Psalms 42

1 For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites. Like the hart which longs for brooks of water, I long for you, God.

ああ神よしかの渓水をしたひ喘ぐがごとく わが霊魂もなんぢをしたひあへぐなり

2 I thirst for God, for my living God. When shall I enter in, and see the face of God?

わがたましひは渇けるごとくに神をしたふ 活神をぞしたふ 何れのときにか我ゆきて神のみまへにいでん

3 My tears have been my food by day and by night; for they say to me all the day long, ‘Where is your God?’

かれらが終日われにむかひて なんぢの神はいづくにありやとののしる間はただわが涙のみ晝夜そそぎてわが糧なりき

4 My heart floods with sorrow, as I call to mind: how I used to pass on with the throng, at their head, to the house of God, with glad shouts and giving of thanks, in the throng who kept festival.

われむかし群をなして祭日をまもる衆人とともにゆき歓喜と讃美のこゑをあげてかれらを神の家にともなへり 今これらのことを追想してわが衷よりたましひを注ぎいだすなり

5 Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.

ああわが霊魂よ なんぢ何ぞうなたるるや なんぞわが衷におもひみだるるや なんぢ神をまちのぞめ われに聖顔のたすけありて我なほわが神をほめたたふべければなり

6 I am sunk in my misery; I will therefore call you to mind from the land of Jordan and Hermon, the mountain Mizar.

わが神よわがたましひはわが衷にうなたる 然ばわれヨルダンの地よりヘルモンよりミザルの山より汝をおもひいづ

7 Flood is calling to flood at the noise of your cataracts; all your waves and your breakers have passed over me.

なんぢの大瀑のひびきによりて淵々よびこたへ なんぢの波なんぢの猛浪ことごとくわが上をこえゆけり

8 In the day I cry to the Lord to summon his kindness; and the song that I sing in the night is a prayer to the living God.

然はあれど晝はヱホバその憐憫をほどこしたまふ 夜はその歌われとともにあり 此うたはわがいのちの神にささぐる祈なり

9 I say to God my rock, ‘Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?’

われわが磐なる神にいはん なんぞわれを忘れたまひしや なんぞわれは仇のしへたげによりて悲しみありくや

10 It pierces me to the heart to hear the enemy’s taunts, as all the day long they say to me, ‘Where is your God?’

わが骨もくだくるばかりにわがてきはひねもす我にむかひて なんぢの神はいづくにありやといひののしりつつ我をそしれり

11 Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.

ああわがたましひよ 汝なんぞうなたるるや 何ぞわがうちに思ひみだるるや なんぢ神をまちのぞめ われ尚わがかほの助なるわが神をほめたたふべければなり
