Psalm 42
English Standard Version
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.

詩篇 42
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
在異域遭難時企望神
42 可拉後裔的訓誨詩，交於伶長。
1 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，我幾時得朝見神呢？
3 我晝夜以眼淚當飲食，人不住地對我說：「你的神在哪裡呢？」
4 我從前與眾人同往，用歡呼稱讚的聲音，領他們到神的殿裡，大家守節。我追想這些事，我的心極其悲傷。
5 我的心哪，你為何憂悶？為何在我裡面煩躁？應當仰望神，因他笑臉幫助我，我還要稱讚他。
6 我的神啊，我的心在我裡面憂悶，所以我從約旦地，從黑門嶺，從米薩山，記念你。
7 你的瀑布發聲，深淵就與深淵響應，你的波浪洪濤漫過我身。
8 白晝，耶和華必向我施慈愛；黑夜，我要歌頌、禱告賜我生命的神。
9 我要對神我的磐石說：「你為何忘記我呢？我為何因仇敵的欺壓時常哀痛呢？」
10 我的敵人辱罵我，好像打碎我的骨頭，不住地對我說：「你的神在哪裡呢？」
11 我的心哪，你為何憂悶？為何在我裡面煩躁？應當仰望神，因我還要稱讚他，他是我臉上的光榮[a]，是我的神。

English Standard Version
The Coming Peace and Prosperity of Zion
8 And the word of the Lord of hosts came, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (A)I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath. 3 Thus says the Lord: (B)I have returned to Zion and (C)will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, (D)and Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, (E)and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. 4 Thus says the Lord of hosts: (F)Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with staff in hand because of great age. 5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. 6 Thus says the Lord of hosts: (G)If it is marvelous in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, (H)should it also be marvelous in my sight, declares the Lord of hosts? 7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, (I)I will save my people (J)from the east country and from the west country, 8 and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. (K)And they shall be my people, and I will be their God, (L)in faithfulness and in righteousness.”
9 Thus says the Lord of hosts: (M)“Let your hands be strong, you who in these days have been hearing these words from the mouth of (N)the prophets who were present on (O)the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. 10 For before those days (P)there was no wage for man or any wage for beast, neither was there any safety from the foe for him who went out or came in, for I set every man against his neighbor. 11 But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days, declares the Lord of hosts. 12 (Q)For there shall be a sowing of peace. The vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, (R)and the heavens shall give their dew. (S)And I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. 13 And as (T)you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, (U)so will I save you, and (V)you shall be a blessing. (W)Fear not, but (X)let your hands be strong.”
14 For thus says the Lord of hosts: (Y)“As I purposed to bring disaster to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, and I did not relent, says the Lord of hosts, 15 so again have I purposed in these days to bring good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; (Z)fear not. 16 These are the things that you shall do: (AA)Speak the truth to one another; (AB)render in your gates judgments (AC)that are true and make for peace; 17 (AD)do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and (AE)love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord.”

耶路撒冷必復振興
8 萬軍之耶和華的話臨到我說： 2 「萬軍之耶和華如此說：我為錫安心裡極其火熱，我為她火熱，向她的仇敵發烈怒。 3 耶和華如此說：我現在回到錫安，要住在耶路撒冷中。耶路撒冷必稱為誠實的城，萬軍之耶和華的山必稱為聖山。 4 萬軍之耶和華如此說：將來必有年老的男女坐在耶路撒冷街上，因為年紀老邁就手拿拐杖。 5 城中街上必滿有男孩女孩玩耍。 6 萬軍之耶和華如此說：到那日，這事在餘剩的民眼中看為稀奇，在我眼中也看為稀奇嗎？這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 7 萬軍之耶和華如此說：我要從東方從西方救回我的民。 8 我要領他們來，使他們住在耶路撒冷中。他們要做我的子民，我要做他們的神，都憑誠實和公義。
先知勖建殿者勿怯勿怠
9 「萬軍之耶和華如此說：當建造萬軍之耶和華的殿立根基之日的先知所說的話，現在你們聽見，應當手裡強壯。 10 那日以先，人得不著雇價，牲畜也是如此；且因敵人的緣故，出入之人不得平安，乃因我使眾人互相攻擊。 11 但如今，我待這餘剩的民必不像從前。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 12 因為他們必平安撒種，葡萄樹必結果子，地土必有出產，天也必降甘露。我要使這餘剩的民享受這一切的福。 13 猶大家和以色列家啊，你們從前在列國中怎樣成為可咒詛的，照樣，我要拯救你們，使人稱你們為有福的[a]。你們不要懼怕，手要強壯！
勉以善行
14 「萬軍之耶和華如此說：你們列祖惹我發怒的時候，我怎樣定意降禍並不後悔， 15 現在我照樣定意施恩於耶路撒冷和猶大家，你們不要懼怕。 16 你們所當行的是這樣：各人與鄰舍說話誠實，在城門口按至理判斷，使人和睦。 17 誰都不可心裡謀害鄰舍，也不可喜愛起假誓，因為這些事都為我所恨惡。這是耶和華說的。」

Jesus Heals Many
14 (A)And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw (B)his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. 15 He (C)touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. 16 That evening they brought to him many who were (D)oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits (E)with a word and healed all who were sick. 17 (F)This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: (G)“He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”

醫彼得岳母
14 耶穌到了彼得家裡，見彼得的岳母害熱病躺著。 15 耶穌把她的手一摸，熱就退了。她就起來，服侍耶穌。 16 到了晚上，有人帶著許多被鬼附的來到耶穌跟前，他只用一句話就把鬼都趕出去，並且治好了一切有病的人。 17 這是要應驗先知以賽亞的話說：「他代替我們的軟弱，擔當我們的疾病。」

Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons
28 (A)And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes,[a] two (B)demon-possessed[b] men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. 29 And behold, they (C)cried out, “What have you to do with us, (D)O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us (E)before the time?” 30 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. 31 And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.” 32 And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the (F)demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, (G)they begged him to leave their region.

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
28 耶穌既渡到那邊去，來到加大拉人的地方，就有兩個被鬼附的人從墳塋裡出來迎著他，極其凶猛，甚至沒有人能從那條路上經過。 29 他們喊著說：「神的兒子，我們與你有什麼相干？時候還沒有到，你就上這裡來叫我們受苦嗎？」
鬼入豬群
30 離他們很遠，有一大群豬吃食。 31 鬼就央求耶穌，說：「若把我們趕出去，就打發我們進入豬群吧。」 32 耶穌說：「去吧！」鬼就出來，進入豬群。全群忽然闖下山崖，投在海裡淹死了。 33 放豬的就逃跑進城，將這一切事和被鬼附的人所遭遇的都告訴人。 34 合城的人都出來迎見耶穌，既見了，就央求他離開他們的境界。
