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。

1 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 food day and night,

While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,

How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God,

With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

5 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

For the help of his countenance.

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me:

Therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan,

And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls:

All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

8 Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time;

And in the night his song shall be with me,

Even a 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 adversaries reproach me,

While they continually say 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 help of my countenance, and my God.
