诗篇 42
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
诗篇卷二
在异地渴慕朝见 神
可拉子孙的训诲诗，交给诗班长。
42 神啊！我的心渴慕你，
好象鹿渴慕溪水。
2 我的心渴想 神，就是永活的 神；
我甚么时候可以来朝见 神的面呢？
3 人整天对我说：“你的 神在哪里呢？”
我就昼夜以眼泪当饭吃。
4 我从前常常和群众同去，
与他们进到 神的殿里，
在欢呼和称谢声中，大家守节。
每逢想起这些事，我的心就感到难过。
5 我的心哪！你为甚么沮丧呢？
为甚么在我里面不安呢？
应当等候 神；
因为我还要称赞他，
他是我面前的救助、我的 神。
6 我的心在我里面沮丧；
因此我从约旦地，从黑门岭，
从米萨山，记念你。
7 你的瀑布一发声，深渊就和深渊响应；
你的洪涛和波浪都掩盖了我。
8 白天耶和华赐下他的慈爱；
夜间我要向他歌颂，
向赐我生命的 神祷告。
9 我要对 神我的盘石说：
“你为甚么忘记我呢？
我为甚么因仇敌的压迫徘徊悲哀呢？”
10 我的敌人整天对我说：
“你的 神在哪里呢？”
他们这样辱骂我的时候，
就像在击碎我的骨头。
11 我的心哪！你为甚么沮丧呢？
为甚么在我里面不安呢？
应当等候 神；
因为我还要称赞他，
他是我面前的救助、我的 神。
Psalm 42

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.

BOOK II
Longing for God and His Help in Distress
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah.
42 As a hart longs
for flowing streams,
so longs my soul
for thee, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God?
3 My tears have been my food
day and night,
while men say to me continually,
“Where is your God?”
4 These things I remember,
as I pour out my soul:
how I went with the throng,
and led them in procession to the house of God,
with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving,
a multitude keeping festival.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help 6 and my God.
My soul is cast down within me,
therefore I remember thee
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of thy cataracts;
all thy waves and thy billows
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 hast thou forgotten me?
Why go I mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As with a deadly wound in my body,
my adversaries taunt me,
while they say to me continually,
“Where is your God?”
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God.
