I opened for my beloved, but my lover had already turned and gone away. I fell into despair when he departed. I looked for him but did not find him; I called him but he did not answer me.

我给我的良人开了门；我的良人却已转身走了。他说话的时候，我神不守舍；我寻找他，竟寻不见；我呼叫他，他却不回答。

我为我的良人开了门，我的良人却已转身走了。他说话的时候，我魂不守舍。我寻找他，竟寻不着，我呼叫他，他却不回答。

我亲手给我的良人开门，我的良人却已转身走了；我发现他走了，差点昏倒；我到处找他，却找不见，我呼叫他，他却不回答。

我給我的愛人開了門，我的愛人卻已轉身走過去了！唉，他說話時，我都神不守舍了！我尋找他，竟找不着；我呼叫他，他卻不應我。

我為所愛者啟門、惟彼已退而去、彼言時、我則魂消、求之不得、呼之莫應、

門既闢、不見夫子、我思其言、魂不附體、求之弗得、呼之莫應。

我為我之良人啟門、乃我之良人、已轉身而去、我思其所言、神不守舍、我尋之不得、呼之莫應、

I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had left; he was gone. My heart sank at his departure. I looked for him but did not find him. I called him but he did not answer.

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.

I was asleep, but my mind was dreaming. Listen! My lover is knocking at the door!“ Open for me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one! My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.”

All those I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent!

“‘ It then came about that just as I cried out, but they would not obey, so they will cry out, but I will not listen,’ the LORD LORD WHO RULES OVER ALL had said.

My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? I groan in prayer, but help seems far away.My God, I cry out during the day, but you do not answer, and during the night my prayers do not let up.

Then they will call to me, but I will not answer; they will diligently seek me, but they will not find me.

“ Indeed, the LORD will call you back like a wife who has been abandoned and suffers from depression, like a young wife when she has been rejected,” says your God.“ For a short time I abandoned you, but with great compassion I will gather you.In a burst of anger I rejected you momentarily, but with lasting devotion I will have compassion on you,” says your protector, the LORD.

I will wait patiently for the LORD, who has rejected the family of Jacob; I will wait for him.

Also, when I cry out desperately for help, he has shut out my prayer.

To you, O LORD, I cry out! My protector, do not ignore me! If you do not respond to me, I will join those who are descending into the grave.

Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned? Tell us, that we may seek him with you.

A Canaanite woman from that area came and cried out,“ Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is horribly demon- possessed!”But he did not answer her a word. Then his disciples came and begged him,“ Send her away, because she keeps on crying out after us.”So he answered,“ I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”But she came and bowed down before him and said,“ Lord, help me!”“ It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs,” he said.“ Yes, Lord,” she replied,“ but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”Then Jesus answered her,“ Woman, your faith is great! Let what you want be done for you.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said:“ Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

I am exhausted from shouting for help; my throat is sore; my eyes grow tired of looking for my God.

Why does no one challenge me when I come? Why does no one respond when I call? Is my hand too weak to deliver you? Do I lack the power to rescue you? Look, with a mere shout I can dry up the sea; I can turn streams into a desert, so the fish rot away and die from lack of water.

They seek me day after day; they want to know my requirements, like a nation that does what is right and does not reject the law of their God. They ask me for just decrees; they want to be near God.

My lover thrust his hand through the hole, and my feelings were stirred for him.

Although they bring their flocks and herds to seek the favor of the LORD, They will not find him– he has withdrawn himself from them!

I said,“ I will remember God while I groan; I will think about him while my strength leaves me.”( Selah)

My eyes grow weak because of oppression. I call out to you, O LORD, all day long; I spread out my hands in prayer to you.Do you accomplish amazing things for the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and give you thanks?( Selah)Is your loyal love proclaimed in the grave, or your faithfulness in the place of the dead?Are your amazing deeds experienced in the dark region, or your deliverance in the land of oblivion?As for me, I cry out to you, O LORD; in the morning my prayer confronts you.O LORD, why do you reject me, and pay no attention to me?

O LORD God, invincible warrior! How long will you remain angry at your people while they pray to you?

So Saul inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him– not by dreams nor by Urim nor by the prophets.

At that time you will say:“ I praise you, O LORD, for even though you were angry with me, your anger subsided, and you consoled me.

Then I will return again to my lair until they have suffered their punishment. Then they will seek me; in their distress they will earnestly seek me.

Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him:“ Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

All night long on my bed I longed for my lover. I longed for him but he never appeared.“ I will arise and look all around throughout the town, and throughout the streets and squares; I will search for my beloved.” I searched for him but I did not find him.

Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him,“ Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”And he went outside and wept bitterly.

But the king said,“ What do we have in common, you sons of Zeruiah? If he curses because the LORD has said to him,‘ Curse David!’, who can say to him,‘ Why have you done this?’”

He said to his brothers,“ My money was returned! Here it is in my sack!” They were dismayed; they turned trembling one to another and said,“ What in the world has God done to us?”

O LORD, in your good favor you made me secure. Then you rejected me and I was terrified.

For I will not be hostile forever or perpetually angry, for then man’s spirit would grow faint before me, the life-giving breath I created.
