Psalms 42

1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so my soul panteth after thee, O God.

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。

2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

我的心渴想上帝，就是永生上帝； 我幾時得朝見上帝呢？

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

我晝夜以眼淚當飲食； 人不住地對我說：你的上帝在哪裏呢？

4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day.

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。

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

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。

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.

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。

7 Deep calleth to deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

你的瀑布發聲，深淵就與深淵響應； 你的波浪洪濤漫過我身。

8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer to the God of my life.

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。

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

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？

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

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？

11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

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。
