시편 42편은 시편 제2권을 여는 고라 자손의 시로, 성전 예배에서 멀어진 시인이 사슴이 시냇물을 찾듯 하나님을 갈망하며 낙심한 자기 영혼에게 하나님을 바라라고 스스로 말하는 탄식시이다.

42Psalms · Contemporary English Version (2006)

¹As a deer gets thirsty for streams of water, I truly am thirsty for you, my God. Notes

²In my heart, I am thirsty for you, the living God. When will I see your face?

³Day and night my tears are my only food, as everyone keeps asking, “Where is your God?”

⁴Sorrow floods my heart, when I remember leading the worshipers to your house. I can still hear them shout their joyful praises.

⁵Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I should trust you, Lord. I will praise you again because you help me,

⁶and you are my God. I am deeply discouraged, and so I think about you here where the Jordan begins at Mount Hermon and at Mount Mizar.

⁷Your vicious waves have swept over me like an angry ocean or a roaring waterfall.

⁸Every day, you are kind, and at night you give me a song as my prayer to you, the God of my life.

⁹You are my mighty rock. Why have you forgotten me? Why must enemies mistreat me and make me sad?

¹⁰Even my bones are in pain, while all day long my enemies sneer and ask, “Where is your God?”

¹¹Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I trust you, Lord! And I will praise you again because you help me, and you are my God.
