1 [To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.] 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 bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
4 These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.
5 Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, {for} the health of his countenance.
6 My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
8 In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, 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 crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
11 Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, {who is} the health of my countenance, 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。
