1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, 2 As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! 3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. 4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. 5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. 7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. 8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. 11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. 12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
1 愿你裂天而降！ （本节在《马索拉抄本》为63:19）愿群山都在你面前震动！
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）
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。
4 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。
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？
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。
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。
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。
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。
10 你的圣城变了旷野， 锡安成了旷野， 耶路撒冷成了荒场。
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。
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？
