1向 神求救的禱告你這毀滅人，自己卻不被毀滅的；你這行事詭詐，別人倒不以詭詐待你的，有禍了！你剛停止毀滅人的時候，自己就要被毀滅；你剛停止行詭詐的時候，別人就必以詭詐待你。
1Woe to you who destroy, but you weren’t destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have made an end of betrayal, you will be betrayed.
2耶和華啊！求你施恩給我們；我們等候你。每天早晨，願你作我們的膀臂，在遭難的時候，作我們的拯救。
2Yahweh, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3喧嚷的聲音一發，眾民必逃跑；你一興起，列國就四散。
3At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
4列國啊！你們所擄掠的必被收取，像螞蚱收取禾稼一樣；蝗蟲怎樣為食物忙碌走動，人也怎樣在擄物上忙亂。
4Your spoil will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
5耶和華必被尊崇，因為他居住在高天；他必以公平與公義充滿錫安。
5Yahweh is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6他是你一生一世的保障、豐盛的救恩、智慧和知識；敬畏耶和華就是你的至寶。
6There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.
7看哪！他們的勇士在街上呼叫；和平的使者在痛苦哭泣。
7Behold, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8大路荒涼，過路的人絕跡；敵人背約，藐視約章，不尊重任何人。
8The highways are desolate. The traveling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He doesn’t respect man.
9大地悲哀衰殘，黎巴嫩羞慚枯乾；沙崙好像荒原，巴珊和迦密的樹木凋零。
9The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
10 神彰顯大能加以干預耶和華說：“現在我要起來，現在我要興起，現在我要被人尊崇。
10“Now I will arise,” says Yahweh; “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11你們所懷的是糠秕，所生的是碎秸；我的氣息必像火一般吞滅你們。
11You will conceive chaff. You will bring forth stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12眾民必像燃燒的石灰，又像被割下的荊棘，在火中焚燒。
12The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
13遠方的人哪！你們要聽我所作的事；近處的人哪！你們要承認我的大能。”
13Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
14在錫安的罪人都恐懼；戰兢抓住了不敬虔的人：“我們中間誰能與吞滅一切的火同住呢？我們中間誰能與不斷燃燒的火同住呢？”
14The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
15那行事公義，說話正直，拒絕不義的財利，搖手不受賄賂，塞耳不聽血腥的事，閉眼不看邪惡的事的，
15He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
16這樣的人必居住在高處，他的保障必在堅固的磐石上，他的糧食必有供應，他的水源永不斷絕。
16he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
17幸福美好的將來你必親眼看見王的榮美，必看見遼闊之地。
17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
18你的心必默想已往的恐懼，說：“那記數目的在哪裡？那稱貢銀的在哪裡？那數點城樓的在哪裡呢？”
18Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
19你必不再見那強暴的民了，就是那說話深奧，難以明白，舌頭結巴，難以聽懂的民。
19You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can’t comprehend, with a strange language that you can’t understand.
20你要看著錫安，就是我們舉行制定節期的城，你必看見耶路撒冷，是一個安全的居所，一個不挪移的帳幕，它的橛子永不會拔起來，它的繩索也不會扯斷。
20Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won’t be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
21在那裡，威嚴的耶和華必作我們江河寬渠溢流之地。必沒有盪槳搖櫓的船隻能在其上往來，威武的戰船也不能經過。
21But there Yahweh will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
22因為耶和華是我們的審判者，耶和華是我們的立法者，耶和華是我們的君王，他必拯救我們。
22For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.
23現在你的繩索雖然鬆開，不能綁緊桅杆，也不能揚起帆來，但到那時，許多擄物必被你們瓜分，甚至瘸腿的也能把掠物掠去。
23Your rigging is untied. They couldn’t strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn’t spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey.
24以色列的居民必不再說：“我有病”；因為在其中居住的，罪孽必得赦免。
24The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.
