Psalm 42

Neues Leben. Die Bibel

1 Für den Chorleiter: Ein Psalm der Nachkommen Korachs. 2 Wie der Hirsch nach Wasser dürstet, so sehne ich mich nach dir, mein Gott. (Ps 63,2) 3 Mich dürstet nach Gott, nach dem lebendigen Gott. Wann darf ich kommen und ihn sehen? (Ps 43,4; Ps 84,2; Ps 143,6; Jer 10,10; Röm 9,26)

Ps 43,4Ps 84,2Ps 143,6Jer 10,10Röm 9,26

4 Tränen sind meine Speise bei Tag und Nacht, denn ständig verspotten mich meine Feinde und höhnen: »Wo ist nun dein Gott?« (Ps 79,10; Ps 80,6; Joe 2,17) 5 Wenn ich an früher denke, bricht mir das Herz: Da ging ich der großen Menge voran und führte sie zum Hause Gottes, da konnte ich jubeln und danken in der feiernden Menge. (Hi 30,16; Ps 100,4; Jes 30,29) 6 Warum bin ich so mutlos? Warum so traurig? Auf Gott will ich hoffen, denn eines Tages werde ich ihn wieder loben, meinen Retter und meinen Gott. (Ps 38,7; Ps 44,4; Ps 77,4; Kla 3,24)

7 Jetzt bin ich mutlos, darum denke ich an dich aus dem Land am Jordan und dem Hermongebirge, auf dem Berg Misar. (Ps 61,3; Mk 14,34) 8 Rings um mich tobt das Wasser, während Wellen und Wogen über mich hinweggehen. (Ps 88,8; Jon 2,4) 9 Am Tag schenkt der HERR mir seine Gnade, und in der Nacht singe ich ihm Lieder und bete zu Gott, der mir das Leben gibt. (Hi 35,10; Ps 16,7; Ps 57,4; Ps 77,7; Ps 149,4)

Hi 35,10Ps 16,7Ps 57,4Ps 77,7Ps 149,4

10 Zu Gott, meinem Felsen, rufe ich: »Warum hast du mich verlassen und warum muss alles so dunkel um mich sein und ich unter der Gewalt meiner Feinde leiden?« (Ps 17,10; Ps 38,7) 11 Ihr Spott ist mir wie eine tödliche Wunde, wenn sie spotten und fragen: »Wo ist nun dein Gott?« 12 Warum bin ich so mutlos? Warum so traurig? Auf Gott will ich hoffen, denn eines Tages werde ich ihn wieder loben, meinen Retter und meinen Gott!

New International Reader’s Version

von Biblica

For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah.

1 A deer longs for streams of water. God, I long for you in the same way. 2 I am thirsty for God. I am thirsty for the living God. When can I go and meet with him? 3 My tears have been my food day and night. All day long people say to me, ‘Where is your God?’ 4 When I remember what has happened, I tell God all my troubles. I remember how I used to walk to the house of God. The Mighty One guarded my steps. We shouted with joy and praised God as we went along with the joyful crowd. 5 My spirit, why are you so sad? Why are you so upset deep down inside me? Put your hope in God. Once again I will have reason to praise him. He is my Saviour and my God. 6 My spirit is very sad deep down inside me. So I will remember you here where the River Jordan begins. I will remember you here on the Hermon mountains and on Mount Mizar. 7 You have sent wave upon wave of trouble over me. It roars down on me like a waterfall. All your waves and breakers have rolled over me. 8 During the day the LORD sends his love to me. During the night I sing about him. I say a prayer to the God who gives me life. 9 I say to God my Rock, ‘Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go around in sorrow? Why am I treated so badly by my enemies?’ 10 My body suffers deadly pain as my enemies make fun of me. All day long they say to me, ‘Where is your God?’ 11 My spirit, why are you so sad? Why are you so upset deep down inside me? Put your hope in God. Once again I will have reason to praise him. He is my Saviour and my God.

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?
