我们圣洁华美的殿，就是我们列祖赞美你的所在，被火焚烧。我们所羡慕的美地，尽都荒废。
Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
（大卫的诗，交与伶长）神阿，我哀叹的时候，求你听我的声音。求你保护我的性命，不受仇敌的惊恐。
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
他们磨舌如刀，发出苦毒的言语，好像比准了的箭。
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
要在暗地射完全人。他们忽然射他，并不惧怕。
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
他们彼此勉励设下恶计。他们商量暗设网罗，说，谁能看见。
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
但神要射他们。他们忽然被箭射伤。
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
众人都要害怕，要传杨神的工作，并且明白他的作为。
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
愿你裂天而降，愿山在你面前绅动，
Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
好像火烧乾柴，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。
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!
你曾行我们不能逆料可畏的事。那时你降临，山岭在你面前绅动。
When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
