¹亞薩的詩。　神啊！外族人侵入你的產業，污穢了你的聖殿，使耶路撒冷成為廢墟。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）

¹God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

²他們把你僕人的屍首，給空中的飛鳥啄食；把你聖民的肉，給地上的野獸吞噬。

²They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.

³他們在耶路撒冷的周圍把聖民的血像水一般倒出，沒有人埋葬他們。

³Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.

⁴我們成為鄰國羞辱的對象，成為四周的人嗤笑和譏刺的目標。

⁴We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.

⁵耶和華啊！要到幾時呢？你要永遠懷怒嗎？你的憤恨要像火焚燒嗎？

⁵How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?

⁶願你把你的烈怒，傾倒在不認識你的外族人，和不求告你名的列國身上。

⁶Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you; on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name;

⁷因為他們吞吃了雅各，使他的住處荒涼。

⁷For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.

⁸求你不要記住我們祖先的罪孽；願你的憐憫快快臨到我們，因為我們落到極卑微的地步。

⁸Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.

⁹拯救我們的　神啊！求你因你名的榮耀幫助我們；為你名的緣故，搭救我們，赦免我們的罪。

⁹Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.

¹⁰為甚麼容外族人說：“他們的　神在哪裡呢？”願我們親眼看見你在列邦中，使人知道你要為你僕人所流的血伸冤。

¹⁰Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.

¹¹願被囚的人的唉哼，達到你面前；願你用你的大能，使那些已定死罪的人可以存留。

¹¹Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.

¹²主啊！願你把我們鄰國羞辱你的羞辱，七倍歸還在他們身上。

¹²Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.

¹³這樣，我們作你的子民，作你牧場上的羊的，要永遠稱謝你；我們要世世代代述說你可稱頌的事。

¹³So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
