1 To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of the sons of Korah.
2 \42:1\Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.
3 \42:2\My soul is dry for need of God, the living God; when may I come and see the face of God?
4 \42:3\My tears have been my food day and night, while they keep saying to me, Where is your God?
5 \42:4\Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast.
6 \42:5\Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
7 \42:6\My soul is crushed down in me, so I will keep you in mind; from the land of Jordan and of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
8 \42:7\Deep is sounding to deep at the noise of your waterfalls; all your waves have gone rolling over me.
9 \42:8\But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
10 \42:9\I will say to God my Rock, Why have you let me go from your memory? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?
11 \42:10\The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?
12 \42:11\Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
1 神啊！ 我的心渴慕你， 好像鹿渴慕溪水。
2 我的心渴想 神， 就是永活的 神； 我什么时候可以来朝见 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！ 你为什么沮丧呢？为什么在我里面不安呢？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 神我的磐石说： "你为什么忘记我呢？我为什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！ 你为什么沮丧呢？为什么在我里面不安呢？应当等候 神； 因为我还要称赞他， 他是我面前的救助、我的 神。
