(可拉後裔的訓誨詩,交與伶長。)神啊,我的心切慕你,如鹿切慕溪水。我的心渴想神,就是永生神;我幾時得朝見神呢?我晝夜以眼淚當飲食;人不住地對我說:你的神在哪裡呢?我從前與眾人同往,用歡呼稱讚的聲音領他們到神的殿裡,大家守節。我追想這些事,我的心極其悲傷。我的心哪,你為何憂悶?為何在我裡面煩躁?應當仰望神,因他笑臉幫助我;我還要稱讚他。
My soul is crushed down in me, so I will keep you in mind; from the land of Jordan and of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar. Deep is sounding to deep at the noise of your waterfalls; all your waves have gone rolling over me. But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life. I will say to God my Rock, Why have you let me go from your memory? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters? The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God? Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
