¹求主降临彰显威荣

¹Didst Thou not rend the heavens? Thou didst come down, From thy presence did mountains flow,

²好像火烧着干柴，又像火把水烧开，使你的敌人认识你的名，使列国在你面前发颤。（本节在《马索拉抄本》为64:1）

²(As fire kindleth stubble — Fire causeth water to boil,) To make known Thy name to Thine adversaries, From Thy presence do nations tremble.

³你行了可畏的事，是我们料想不到的，那时你降临，群山都在你面前震动。

³In Thy doing fearful things — we expect not, Thou didst come down, From Thy presence did mountains flow.

⁴自认罪过从古时以来，人未曾听过，耳未曾闻过，眼未曾见过，在你以外还有什么神，能为等候他的人行事的。

⁴Even from antiquity [men] have not heard, They have not given ear, Eye hath not seen a God save Thee, He doth work for those waiting for Him.

⁵你善待那些喜欢行义，在你的道路上记念你的人。看哪！你曾发怒，因为我们犯了罪；这样的情形已经很久，我们还能得救吗？

⁵Thou hast met with the rejoicer And the doer of righteousness, In Thy ways they remember Thee, Lo, Thou hast been wroth when we sin, By them [is] continuance, and we are saved.

⁶我们众人都像不洁净的人，我们所有的义，都像污秽的衣服；我们众人都像叶子枯干，我们的罪孽好像风一般把我们吹去。

⁶And we are as unclean — all of us, And as a garment passing away, all our righteous acts; And we fade as a leaf — all of us. And our iniquities as wind do take us away.

⁷没有人呼求你的名，没有人奋起抓着你；因为你掩面不顾我们，使我们在自己罪孽的权势下融化。

⁷And there is none calling in Thy name, Stirring up himself to lay hold on Thee, For Thou hast hid Thy face from us, And thou meltest us away by our iniquities.

⁸耶和华啊！现在你还是我们的父；我们不过是泥土，你才是陶匠；我们众人都是你手所作的。

⁸And now, O Jehovah, thou [art] our Father, We [are] the clay, and Thou our Framer, And the work of Thy hand — all of us.

⁹耶和华啊！求你不要大发烈怒。不要永远记念罪孽。求你垂看我们，我们众人都是你的子民。

⁹Be not wroth, O Jehovah, very sore, Nor for ever remember iniquity, Lo, look attentively, we beseech Thee, Thy people [are] we all.

¹⁰你的圣城变了旷野，锡安成了旷野，耶路撒冷成了荒场。

¹⁰Thy holy cities have been a wilderness, Zion a wilderness hath been, Jerusalem a desolation.

¹¹我们那圣洁和荣美的殿，就是我们的列祖赞美你的所在，被火烧了。我们所喜爱的一切，都成了废墟。

¹¹Our holy and our beautiful house, Where praise Thee did our fathers, Hath become burnt with fire, And all our desirable things have become a waste.

¹²耶和华啊！对这些事你还忍得住吗？你仍然缄默不言，使我们受苦到极点吗？

¹²For these dost Thou refrain Thyself, Jehovah? Thou art silent, and dost afflict us very sore!`
