卷二：诗篇42—72
第 42 篇
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。

For the director of music. A maskilTitle: Probably a literary or musical term of the Sons of Korah.
1As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God.
2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
3My tears have been my food
day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
‘Where is your God?’
4These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go to the house of God
under the protection of the Mighty One42:4 See Septuagint and Syriac; the meaning of the Hebrew for this line is uncertain.
with shouts of joy and praise
among the festive throng.
5Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Saviour and my God.
6My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon – from Mount Mizar.
7Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
8By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me –
a prayer to the God of my life.
9I say to God my Rock,
‘Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?’
10My bones suffer mortal agony
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
‘Where is your God?’
11Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Saviour and my God.
