Mga Awit 42

1Kung paanong humihingal ang usa sa pagkauhaw sa tubig ng mga batis, gayon humihingal ang aking kaluluwa sa pagkasabik sa iyo, Oh Dios. 2Kinauuhawan ng aking kaluluwa ang Dios, ang buhay na Dios: kailan ako paririto, at haharap sa Dios? 3Ang aking mga luha ay naging aking pagkain araw at gabi, Habang kanilang sinasabing lagi sa akin, saan nandoon ang iyong Dios? 4Ang mga bagay na ito ay aking naaalaala, at nanglulumo ang aking kaluluwa sa loob ko, kung paanong ako'y nagpatuloy sa karamihan, at pinatnubayan ko sila sa bahay ng Dios, na may tinig ng kagalakan at pagpupuri, na isang karamihan na nagdidiwang ng kapistahan. 5Bakit ka nanglulumo, Oh kaluluwa ko? At bakit ka nababagabag sa loob ko? Umasa ka sa Dios: sapagka't pupuri pa ako sa kaniya dahil sa kagalingan ng kaniyang mukha. 6Oh Dios ko, ang aking kaluluwa ay nanglulumo sa loob ko; kaya't aking inaalaala ka mula sa lupain ng Jordan, at ng Hermonitas, mula sa burol ng Mizhar. 7Kalaliman ay tumatawag sa kalaliman sa hugong ng iyong mga baha: lahat ng iyong alon at ang iyong malaking alon ay nagsitabon sa akin. 8Gayon ma'y uutusan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang kagandahang-loob sa araw, at sa gabi ay sasa akin ang awit sa kaniya, sa makatuwid baga'y isang dalangin sa Dios ng aking buhay. 9Aking sasabihin sa Dios na aking malaking bato, bakit mo ako kinalimutan? Bakit ako'y yayaong tumatangis dahil sa pagpighati ng kaaway? 10Na wari tabak sa aking mga buto, na tinutuya ako ng aking mga kaaway; habang sinasabi nilang lagi sa akin, saan nandoon ang iyong Dios? 11Bakit ka nanglulumo, Oh kaluluwa ko? At bakit ka nababagabag sa loob ko? Umasa ka sa Dios: sapagka't pupuri pa ako sa kaniya, na siyang kagalingan ng aking mukha, at aking Dios.

1As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God. 2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? 3My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?” 4These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day. 5Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence. 6My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar. 7Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me. 8Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life. 9I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” 10As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?” 11Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.

1Een onderwijzing, voor den opperzangmeester, onder de kinderen van Korach. 2Gelijk een hert schreeuwt naar de waterstromen, alzo schreeuwt mijn ziel tot U, o God! 3Mijn ziel dorst naar God, naar den levenden God; wanneer zal ik ingaan, en voor Gods aangezicht verschijnen? 4Mijn tranen zijn mij tot spijs dag en nacht; omdat zij den gansen dag tot mij zeggen: Waar is uw God? 5Ik gedenk daaraan, en stort mijn ziel uit in mij, omdat ik placht heen te gaan onder de schare, en met hen te treden naar Gods huis, met een stem van vreugdegezang en lof, onder de feesthoudende menigte. 6Wat buigt gij u neder, o mijn ziel! en zijt onrustig in mij? Hoop op God, want ik zal Hem nog loven voor de verlossingen Zijns aangezichts. 7O mijn God! mijn ziel buigt zich neder in mij, daarom gedenk ik Uwer uit het land van de Jordaan, en Hermon, uit het klein gebergte. 8De afgrond roept tot den afgrond, bij het gedruis Uwer watergoten; al Uw baren en Uw golven zijn over mij heengegaan. 9Maar de HEERE zal des daags Zijn goedertierenheid gebieden, en des nachts zal Zijn lied bij mij zijn; het gebed tot den God mijns levens. 10Ik zal zeggen tot God: Mijn Steenrots! waarom vergeet Gij mij? Waarom ga ik in het zwart, vanwege des vijands onderdrukking? 11Met een doodsteek in mijn beenderen honen mij mijn wederpartijders, als zij den gansen dag tot mij zeggen: Waar is uw God? Wat buigt gij u neder, o mijn ziel! en wat zijt gij onrustig in mij? Hoop op God, want ik zal Hem nog loven; Hij is de menigvuldige Verlossing mijns aangezichts, en mijn God.
