Psalms 1 1 2 For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites. 科辣黑后裔的训诲歌，交与乐官。 2 As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God. 天主，我的灵魂渴慕你，真好象牝鹿渴慕溪水。 3 3 My being thirsts for God, the living God. When can I go and see the face of God? 我的灵魂渴念天主，生活的天主，我何时来，能把天主的仪容目睹？ 4 My tears have been my food day and night, as they ask daily,＂Where is your God?＂ 有人终日向我说：＂你的天主在那里？＂我的眼泪竟变成了我昼夜的饮食。 5 Those times I recall as I pour out my soul, When I went in procession with the crowd, I went with them to the house of God, Amid loud cries of thanksgiving, with the multitude keeping festival. 我想起昔日周旋在欢乐的群众里，在群众欢呼赞颂的歌声里，领他们朝觐天主的圣殿时，我的心不免感到忧伤悲戚， 6 Why are you downcast, my soul; why do you groan within me? Wait for God, whom I shall praise again, my savior and my God. 我的灵魂，你为何悲伤，为何忧苦？期望天主！因为我还要向他颂祝，因为他是我的救援，是我的天主。 7 4 My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you From the land of the Jordan and Hermon, from the land of Mount Mizar. 我自约旦地，从赫尔孟山，由小丘陵，一想起你来，我的灵魂即惴惴不宁。 8 5 Here deep calls to deep in the roar of your torrents. All your waves and breakers sweep over me. 在你瀑布的巨声下，深渊与深渊和唱；你所有的洪涛巨浪，都冲击在我身上。 9 At dawn may the LORD bestow faithful love that I may sing praise through the night, praise to the God of my life. 但愿上主在白昼颁赐他的恩爱慈惠，我夜间向赐我生命的天主歌颂赞美！ 10 I say to God, ＂My rock, why do you forget me? Why must I go about mourning with the enemy oppressing me?＂ 我对天主说：我的磐石，你为什么将我遗忘？为什么常在仇人的压迫下徘徊沮丧？ 11 It shatters my bones, when my adversaries reproach me. They say to me daily: ＂Where is your God?＂ 我仇敌欺凌我时，我觉得痛入骨髓，他们终日对我说：＂你的天主在那里？＂ 12 Why are you downcast, my soul, why do you groan within me? Wait for God, whom I shall praise again, my savior and my God. 我的灵魂，你为何悲伤，为何忧苦？期望天主！因为我还要向他颂祝，因为他是我的救援，是我的天主。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalms 42-43] Psalm 42-43 form a single lament of three sections, each section ending in an identical refrain (Psalm 42:6, 11[12]; 43:5). The psalmist is in the extreme north of Israel, far from Jerusalem, and longs for the divine presence that Israel experienced in the temple liturgy. Despite sadness, the psalmist hopes once again to join the worshiping crowds. 2 [1] The Korahites: a major guild of temple singers (2 Chron 20:19) whose name appears in the superscriptions of Psalm 42; 44-49; 84-85; 87-88. 3 [3] See the face of God: ＂face＂ designates a personal presence (Genesis 33:10; Exodus 10:28-29; 2 Sam 17:11). The expressions ＂see God/God's face＂ occur elsewhere (Psalm 11:7; 17:15; 63:2; cf Exodus 24:10; 33:7-11; Job 33:26) for the presence of God in the temple. 4 [7] From the land of the Jordan: the sources of the Jordan are in the foothills of Mount Hermon in present-day southern Lebanon. Mount Mizar is presumed to be a mountain in the same range. 5 [8] Here deep calls to deep: to the psalmist, the waters arising in the north are overwhelming and far from God's presence, like the waters of chaos (Psalm 18:5; 69:2-3, 15; Jonah 2:3-6). |
