诗篇 42
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
第二卷（四十二至七十二篇）
可拉后裔的诗。交给圣咏团长。
流亡异乡者的祷告（一）
42 神啊，我的心切慕你，
如鹿切慕溪水。
2 我的心渴想 神，就是永生 神，
我几时得朝见 神呢？
3 我昼夜以眼泪当食物，
人不住地对我说：“你的 神在哪里呢？”
4 我从前与众人同往，
领他们到 神的殿里，
大家用欢呼称颂的声音守节；
我追想这些事，
我的心极其悲伤。
5 我的心哪，你为何忧闷？
为何在我里面烦躁？
应当仰望 神，
我还要称谢他，我当面的拯救，
6 我的 神。我的心在我里面忧闷[a]，
所以我从约旦地，
从黑门岭，从米萨山记念你。
7 你的瀑布发声，深渊就与深渊响应，
你的波浪洪涛漫过我身。
8 白昼，耶和华必施慈爱；
黑夜，我要歌颂祈祷赐我生命的 神。
9 我要对 神—我的磐石说：
“你为何忘记我呢？
我为何因仇敌的欺压时常哀痛呢？”
10 我的敌人辱骂我，
好像敲碎我的骨头，
他们不住地对我说：
“你的 神在哪里呢？”
11 我的心哪，你为何忧闷？
为何在我里面烦躁？
应当仰望 神，
我还要称谢他，我当面的拯救，我的 神。

Psalm 42
King James Version
Psalm 42
King James Version
42 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4 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 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 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 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
11 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.

Book Two
Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?
To the choirmaster. A Maskil[a] of (A)the Sons of Korah.
42 (B)As a deer pants for flowing streams,
so pants my soul for you, O God.
2 (C)My soul thirsts for God,
for (D)the living God.
When shall I come and (E)appear before God?[b]
3 (F)My tears have been my food
day and night,
(G)while they say to me all the day long,
“Where is your God?”
4 These things I remember,
as I (H)pour out my soul:
(I)how I would go (J)with the throng
and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
(K)a multitude keeping festival.
5 (L)Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you (M)in turmoil within me?
(N)Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation[c] 6 and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I (O)remember you
(P)from the land of Jordan and of (Q)Hermon,
from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep
at the roar of your waterfalls;
(R)all your breakers and your (S)waves
have gone over me.
8 By day the Lord (T)commands his steadfast love,
and at (U)night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
9 I say to God, (V)my rock:
“Why have you forgotten me?
(W)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,
(X)while they say to me all the day long,
“Where is your God?”
11 (Y)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.
