1To the choirmaster. A Maskil[1] of the Sons of Korah. As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. (代上6:33; 代上6:37; 珥1:20)2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?[2] (出23:17; 书3:10; 诗63:1; 诗84:2; 诗84:7; 赛41:17; 赛55:1; 但6:26; 约7:37)3My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” (诗42:10; 诗79:10; 诗80:5; 诗102:9; 诗115:2; 珥2:17; 弥7:10)4These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival. (撒上1:15; 撒下6:15; 伯30:16; 诗55:14; 诗62:8; 赛30:29; 哀2:19)5Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation[3] (诗42:11; 诗43:5; 诗77:3; 哀3:24; 太26:38; 约12:27)6and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. (申3:9; 撒下17:22; 撒下17:24; 拿2:7)7Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me. (诗32:6; 诗88:7; 拿2:3)8By day the Lord commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. (伯35:10; 诗4:4; 诗16:7; 诗44:4; 诗63:6; 诗68:28; 诗71:3; 诗77:6; 诗119:55; 诗119:62; 诗119:148; 诗133:3; 诗149:5)9I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” (撒下22:2; 诗18:2; 诗38:6; 诗43:2)10As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” (诗42:3)11Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. (诗42:5)
