Psalms 42

1 For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.

1 上帝啊，我的心切慕你， 像鹿切慕溪水。

2 My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?

2 我心里渴慕上帝， 渴慕永活的上帝， 我何时才能去朝见祂呢？

3 My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”

3 我昼夜以泪为食， 人们整天讥笑我： “你的上帝在哪里？”

4 These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the festive procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.

4 从前我与众人同行，带领大家去上帝的殿， 在欢呼、感恩声中一起过节。 我回想这些事， 心中无限忧伤。

5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.

5 我的心啊！ 你为何沮丧？为何在我里面烦躁？ 要仰望上帝， 因为我还要赞美祂——我的救主，我的上帝。

6 O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—even from Mount Mizar.

6 我的上帝啊，我心中沮丧， 便在约旦之地、黑门山和米萨山想起你。

7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.

7 你的瀑布发出巨响， 回荡在深渊之间， 你的洪涛巨浪淹没我。

8 The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.

8 白天耶和华将祂的慈爱浇灌我； 夜间我歌颂祂， 向赐我生命的上帝祷告。

9 I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”

9 我对我的磐石上帝说： “你为何忘记我？ 为何要我受仇敌的攻击，使我哀伤不已呢？”

10 Like the crushing of my bones, my enemies taunt me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

10 仇敌的辱骂刺骨钻心。 他们整天对我说： “你的上帝在哪里？”

11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

11 我的心啊！ 你为何沮丧？为何在我里面烦躁？ 要仰望上帝， 因为我还要赞美祂——我的救主，我的上帝。
