詩篇 第 42 篇

¹（可拉後裔的訓誨詩，交與伶長。）神啊，我的心切慕你，如鹿切慕溪水。As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

²我的心渴想神，就是永生神；我幾時得朝見神呢？My soul thirsteth 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：你的神在哪裡呢？My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto 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神的殿裡，大家守節。我追想這些事，我的心極其悲傷。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 holyday.

⁵我的心哪，你為何憂悶？為何在我裡面煩躁？應當仰望神，因他笑臉幫助我；我還要稱讚他。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.

⁶我的神啊，我的心在我裡面憂悶，所以我從約但地，從黑門嶺，從米薩山記念你。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.

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 calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are 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神。Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

⁹我要對神─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 unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I 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：你的神在哪裡呢？As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

¹¹我的心哪，你為何憂悶？為何在我裡面煩躁？應當仰望神，因我還要稱讚他。他是我臉上的光榮（原文是幫助），是我的神。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.
