¹歌一首，亞薩的詩。　神啊！求你不要靜默；　神啊！求你不要閉口，也不要一言不發。

¹God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.

²看哪！你的仇敵喧嘩，恨你的人都抬起頭來。

²For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

³他們密謀奸詐，陷害你的子民；他們彼此商議，攻擊你所寶貴的人。

³They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

⁴他們說：“來吧！我們來把他們除滅，使他們不再成國，使以色列的名不再被人記念。”

⁴“Come,” they say, “and let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

⁵他們同心商議，彼此結盟，要和你對抗。

⁵For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

⁶他們就是住帳棚的以東人和以實瑪利人，摩押人和夏甲人，

⁶The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

⁷迦巴勒、亞捫、亞瑪力、非利士和推羅的居民。

⁷Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

⁸亞述也和他們聯合起來，作了羅得子孫的幫手。（細拉）

⁸Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

⁹求你待他們好像待米甸人，像在基順河待西西拉和耶賓一樣；

⁹Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

¹⁰他們都在隱．多珥被消滅，成了地上的糞土。

¹⁰who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.

¹¹求你使他們的貴族像俄立和西伊伯，使他們的王子像西巴和撒慕拿。

¹¹Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;

¹²他們曾說：“我們要得著　神的牧場作自己的產業。”

¹³我的　神啊！求你使他們像旋風捲起的草，像風前的碎秸。

¹³My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.

¹⁴火怎樣焚燒樹林，火燄怎樣燃燒群山，

¹⁴As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

¹⁵求你也照樣用狂風追趕他們，藉暴風雨驚嚇他們。

¹⁵so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.

¹⁶耶和華啊！求你使他們滿面羞愧，好使他們尋求你的名。

¹⁶Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.

¹⁷願他們永遠受辱驚惶，願他們抱愧滅亡。

¹⁷Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

¹⁸使他們知道只有你的名是耶和華，唯有你是掌管全地的至高者。

¹⁸that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
