Psalms 42
1 Deer pant, desiring to drink water from a stream [when there is a drought] (OR, [when they are being pursued by hunters].) In the same way [SIM], God, I need you very much.
Veisuunjohtajalle; koorahilaisten mietevirsi. Niinkuin peura halajaa vesipuroille, niin minun sieluni halajaa sinua, Jumala.
2 I desire to have fellowship with [MET] you, the all-powerful God. [I wonder], “When will I be able to go [back to the temple in Israel] and worship in your presence again?”
Minun sieluni janoo Jumalaa, elävää Jumalaa. Milloin saan minä tulla Jumalan kasvojen eteen?
3 Every day and every night I cry; [it is as though] the only thing I have to drink is my tears; and while I do that, my enemies are continually asking me, “Why does your god not [help you]?”
Kyyneleeni ovat minun ruokani päivin ja öin, kun minulle joka päivä sanotaan: "Missä on sinun Jumalasi?"
4 I am very distressed [IDM] as I remember when I went with the crowd of people to the temple [in Jerusalem], leading them as we walked along; we were all shouting joyfully and singing to thank God [for what he had done]; we were a large group who were celebrating.
Näitä minä muistelen ja vuodatan sydämeni: minä kuljin väentungoksessa, astuin sen kanssa Jumalan huoneeseen riemun ja kiitoksen raikuessa juhlivasta joukosta.
5 So [I say to] myself, “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to help me], and again I will praise him, my God, the one who saves me.”
Miksi murehdit, minun sieluni, ja olet minussa niin levoton? Odota Jumalaa. Sillä vielä minä saan häntä kiittää hänen kasvojensa avusta.
6 [But now, Yahweh], I am very discouraged [IDM], so I think about you, even from where the Jordan [River] gushes out from the bottom of Hermon [Mountain] and from Mizar Mountain.
Minun Jumalani, minun sieluni on murheellinen minussa, sentähden minä muistan sinua Jordanin maalla, Hermonin kukkuloilla ja Misarin vuorella.
7 But here, the great sorrow that I feel is like water that you send down [MET]; [it is like] a waterfall that tumbles down and floods over me.
Sinun koskiesi pauhussa syvyys syvyydelle huutaa, kaikki sinun kuohusi ja aaltosi käyvät minun ylitseni.
8 Yahweh shows me each day that he faithfully loves me, and each night I sing to him and pray to him, the God who causes me to live.
Päivällä Herra säätää armonsa, ja yöllä minä hänelle veisaan ja rukoilen elämäni Jumalaa.
9 I say to God, [who is like] an [overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET], “It seems that you have forgotten me. I (mourn/cry) constantly because my enemies act cruelly toward me” [RHQ].
Minä sanon Jumalalle, kalliolleni: "Miksi olet minut unhottanut? Miksi minun täytyy käydä murhepuvussa, vihollisen ahdistamana?"
10 They make fun of me constantly; they continually ask, “Why does your god not help you?” [RHQ] And when they insult me [like that], [it is like] wounds that I feel even in my bones.
Minun luitani jäytää, kun viholliseni minua häpäisevät, sanoen minulle kaiken päivää: "Missä on sinun Jumalasi?"
11 But [I think, ] “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I will confidently expect God [to help me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.”
Miksi murehdit, minun sieluni, ja miksi olet minussa niin levoton? Odota Jumalaa. Sillä vielä minä saan kiittää häntä, minun kasvojeni apua, minun Jumalaani.
