詩篇 42

1 可拉後裔的訓誨詩，交與伶長。 上帝啊，我的心切慕你， 如鹿切慕溪水。

As the hart pants after the water brooks, so my soul pants after thee, O God.

2 我的心渴想上帝，就是永生上帝； 我幾時得朝見上帝呢？

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

3 我晝夜以眼淚當飲食； 人不住地對我說：你的上帝在哪裏呢？

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, Where is thy God?

4 我從前與眾人同往， 用歡呼稱讚的聲音 領他們到上帝的殿裏，大家守節。 我追想這些事， 我的心極其悲傷。

These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

5 我的心哪，你為何憂悶？ 為何在我裏面煩躁？ 應當仰望上帝，因他笑臉幫助我； 我還要稱讚他。

Why are thou cast down, O my soul? And why are thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

6 我的上帝啊，我的心在我裏面憂悶， 所以我從約旦地， 從黑門嶺，從米薩山記念你。

O my God, my soul is cast down within me. Therefore I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

7 你的瀑布發聲，深淵就與深淵響應； 你的波浪洪濤漫過我身。

Deep calls to deep at the noise of thy waterfalls. All thy waves and thy billows have gone over me.

8 白晝，耶和華必向我施慈愛； 黑夜，我要歌頌禱告賜我生命的上帝。

Yet Jehovah will command his loving kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, even a prayer to the God of my life.

9 我要對上帝－我的磐石說： 你為何忘記我呢？ 我為何因仇敵的欺壓時常哀痛呢？

I will say to God my rock, Why have thou forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

10 我的敵人辱罵我， 好像打碎我的骨頭， 不住地對我說： 你的上帝在哪裏呢？

As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me; while they continually say to me, Where is thy God?

11 我的心哪，你為何憂悶？ 為何在我裏面煩躁？ 應當仰望上帝，因我還要稱讚他。 他是我臉上的光榮，是我的上帝。

Why are thou cast down, O my soul? And why are thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him, the help of my countenance, and my God.
