Psalm 42 | English Standard Version

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

1 To the choirmaster. A Maskil* of the Sons of Korah. As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?* 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” 4 These 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. 5 Why 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* 6 and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me. 8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. 9 I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” 10 As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” 11 Why 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.

流落异乡者的祷告

可拉后裔作的训诲诗，交给乐长。

1 上帝啊，我的心切慕你，像鹿切慕溪水。 2 我心里渴慕上帝，渴慕永活的上帝，我何时才能去朝拜祂呢？ 3 我不吃不喝，昼夜以泪洗面，人们整天讥笑我： “你的上帝在哪里？” 4 从前我带领众人浩浩荡荡去上帝的殿，在欢呼、感恩声中一起过节。我回想这些事，心中无限忧伤。 5 我的心啊！你为何沮丧？为何烦躁？要仰望上帝，因为我还要赞美祂——我的救主，我的上帝。 6 我的上帝啊，我心中沮丧，便在约旦河、黑门山和米萨山想起你。 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 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 我对上帝——我的磐石说： “你为何忘记我？为何要我受仇敌的攻击，使我哀伤不已呢？” 10 仇敌的辱骂刺骨钻心。他们整天对我说： “你的上帝在哪里？” 11 我的心啊！你为何沮丧？为何烦躁？要仰望上帝，因为我还要赞美祂——我的救主，我的上帝。
