旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第42章

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng.
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and
my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon--from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me--a prayer to the God of my life.
I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?"
My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior 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》
