旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第42章

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
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 health of my countenance, and my God.
诗篇第四十二篇   第 42 篇 

  诗 42-49 篇 > 可拉后裔的诗?是── 

  42-49 篇 诗篇第 42-49 篇是可拉的后代写的。可拉是利未人,因领导了一次对摩西的反叛(参民 16:1-35 ),被神除灭了,但他的后裔仍然对神忠心并继续在神的殿中事奉。大卫任命可拉族作诗班领班(参代上 6:31-38 ),他们在圣殿中继续作了数世纪的乐师(参代下 20:18-19 )。 

  诗 42:1-2> 要到几时,我才会像诗人一样,打从心底说出主啊,我渴想你?要到几时? 

  42:1-2 就像鹿的生命要依靠水一样,我们的生命要依靠神。那些寻求神和渴望明白神的人,就会找到永恒的生命。这位诗人感到同神分开了,他知道自己的生命靠的是神,所以在恢复同神的关系之前,他无法安歇。 

  诗 42:4-5> 未能与众人同敬拜神,心极其悲伤;我们对神,可有诗人的心怀? 

  42:4-5 这首诗的作者非常悲伤,因为他被逐出耶路撒冷以外很远的地方去,无法在神的殿中敬拜神。在这段神设定的节日里,全国都要记住神为他们所做的一切。以色列的各种节日在利未记第 23 章的图表中有解释。 

  诗 42:5-6> 困境中解开郁闷捆锁的法宝是仰望神,请神触摸我的经历──我会吗?还是独自坚持? 

  42:5-6 抑郁是一种常有的情绪。抑郁的解药是静思神向百姓所施的仁爱。这将除去你心灵现有的忧郁状态,并给你进一步的希望。静思将使你的思想集中在神帮助你的能力上,而不是你的自助的能力上。你若感到忧郁,可充分利用这位诗人的抗抑郁剂。 

  诗 42:6> 黑门岭是什么样的山? 

  42:6 黑门指的是黑门岭。米萨的意思是小,所以米萨山可能是在该山区中比较小的山。──《灵修版圣经注释》
