Oh that You would rend the heavens, that You would come down — / That the mountains would shake at Your presence —
愿你裂天而降，愿山岭在你面前震动，

Like fire that kindles brushwood, / Like fire that causes water to boil, / To make Your name known to Your adversaries, / That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
好像火烧干柴，又像火将水烧开；使你敌人知道你的名，使列国在你面前发颤！

When You did awesome things that we did not expect, / You came down, the mountains shook at Your presence.
你曾行我们不能逆料的可畏之事；那时你降临，山岭在你面前震动。

For from of old, men have not heard, / Nor perceived with the ear, / Neither has eye seen a God besides You, / Who acts for him who waits for Him.
自古以来人未曾听见，未曾耳闻，未曾眼见，在你以外有什么神为等候祂的人行事。

You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, / Those who remember You in Your ways. / Yes, You were angry, for we sinned; / We have been in them for a long time, and shall we be saved?
你迎接那欢喜且行义，记念你道路的人。你曾发怒，因我们犯了罪；这景况已久，我们还能得救么？

For all of us became like him who is unclean, / And all our righteousnesses are like a soiled garment; / And we all wither like a leaf, / And our iniquities, like the wind, carry us away.
我们都像不洁净的人，所有的义都像污秽的衣服；我们都像叶子渐渐枯干，我们的罪孽好像风把我们吹去。

And there is no one who calls upon Your name, / Who stirs himself up to lay hold of You; / For You have hidden Your face from us / And have consumed us by our iniquities.
无人呼求你的名，无人奋起抓住你；原来你掩面不顾我们，使我们被自己的罪孽消灭。

But now, Jehovah, You are our Father; / We are the clay; and You, our Potter; / And all of us are the work of Your hand.
耶和华啊，现在你仍是我们的父；我们是泥土，你是窑匠；我们都是你手的工作。

Do not be angry to an extreme, O Jehovah, / Neither remember iniquity forever; / Look now, we pray: We all are Your people.
耶和华啊，求你不要大发震怒，也不要永远记念罪孽；求你垂顾我们，我们都是你的百姓。

Your holy cities have become a wilderness; / Zion is a wilderness, / Jerusalem a desolation.
你圣别的城邑成了旷野，锡安成了旷野，耶路撒冷成了荒场。

Our holy and beautiful house, / Where our fathers praised You, / Is burned with fire; / And all the things that we delighted in have become a ruin.
我们圣别华美的殿，就是我们列祖赞美你的所在，被火焚烧；我们所喜爱的一切，都荒废了。

Will You restrain Yourself from these, O Jehovah? / Will You keep silent and afflict us to an extreme?
耶和华啊，对这些事，你还要忍住么？你仍静默使我们受苦至极么？
