詩篇 42

1 伶長にうたはしめたるコラの子のをしへの歌 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えぐなり

[For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.] As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.

2 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

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

3 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昼夜そそぎてわが糧なりき

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"

4 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

These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go in the tent of the Majestic One, to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.

5 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めたたふべければなり

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I will again give him thanks, my saving presence and my God.

6 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

My soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.

7 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

Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your breakers and waves have swept over me.

8 然はあれど昼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

The LORD will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.

9 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

I will ask God, my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

10 わが骨もくだくるぼ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心りやといひののしりつつ我をそしれり

As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"

11 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

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I will again give him thanks, my saving presence and my God.
