鹿喝溪水 Deer Drinking From The Stream
「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；
我甚麼時候可以來朝見 神的面呢？
3人整天對我說：“你的 神在哪裡呢？”
我就晝夜以眼淚當飯吃。
4我從前常常和群眾同去，
與他們進到 神的殿裡，
在歡呼和稱謝聲中，大家守節。
每逢想起這些事，我的心就感到難過。
5我的心哪！你為甚麼沮喪呢？
為甚麼在我裡面不安呢？
應當等候 神；
因為我還要稱讚他，
他是我面前的救助、我的 神。
6我的心在我裡面沮喪；
因此我從約旦地，從黑門嶺，
從米薩山，記念你。
7你的瀑布一發聲，深淵就和深淵響應；
你的洪濤和波浪都掩蓋了我。
8白天耶和華賜下他的慈愛；
夜間我要向他歌頌，
向賜我生命的 神禱告。
9我要對 神我的磐石說：
“你為甚麼忘記我呢？
我為甚麼因仇敵的壓迫徘徊悲哀呢？”
10我的敵人整天對我說：
“你的 神在哪裡呢？”
他們這樣辱罵我的時候，
就像在擊碎我的骨頭。
11我的心哪！你為甚麼沮喪呢？
為甚麼在我裡面不安呢？
應當等候 神；
因為我還要稱讚他，
他是我面前的救助、我的 神。」
詩篇 42
詩篇 42
“ Just like a deer that craves streams of water,
my whole being craves you, God.
2My whole being thirsts for God, for the living God.
When will I come and see God’s face?
3My tears have been my food both day and night,
as people constantly questioned me,
“Where’s your God now?”
4But I remember these things as I bare my soul:
how I made my way to the mighty one’s abode,
to God’s own house,
with joyous shouts and thanksgiving songs—
a huge crowd celebrating the festival!
5Why, I ask myself, are you so depressed?
Why are you so upset inside?
Hope in God!
Because I will again give him thanks,
my saving presence and my God.
6My whole being is depressed.
That’s why I remember you
from the land of Jordan and Hermon,
from Mount Mizar.
7Deep called to deep at the noise of your waterfalls;
all your massive waves surged over me.
8By day the LORD commands his faithful love;
by night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.
9I will say to God, my solid rock,
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why do I have to walk around,
sad, oppressed by enemies?”
10With my bones crushed, my foes make fun of me,
constantly questioning me: “Where’s your God now?”
11Why, I ask myself, are you so depressed?
Why are you so upset inside?
Hope in God!
Because I will again give him thanks,
my saving presence and my God. ”
