1Woe to you, O destroyer, While you were not destroyed; And he who is treacherous, while [others] did not deal treacherously with him. As soon as you finish destroying, you will be destroyed; As soon as you cease to deal treacherously, [others] will deal treacherously with you.
1禍哉！你這毀滅人的，自己倒不被毀滅；行事詭詐的，人倒不以詭詐待你。你毀滅罷休了，自己必被毀滅；你行完了詭詐，人必以詭詐待你。
2O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their strength every morning, Our salvation also in the time of distress.
2耶和華啊，求你施恩於我們；我們等候你。求你每早晨作我們的膀臂，遭難的時候為我們的拯救。
3At the sound of the tumult peoples flee; At the lifting up of Yourself nations disperse.
3喧嚷的響聲一發，眾民奔逃；你一興起，列國四散。
4Your spoil is gathered [as] the caterpillar gathers; As locusts rushing about men rush about on it.
4你們所擄的必被斂盡，好像螞蚱吃（原文是斂）盡禾稼。人要蹦在其上，好像蝗蟲一樣。
5The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
5耶和華被尊崇，因他居在高處；他以公平公義充滿錫安。
6And He will be the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is his treasure.
6你一生一世必得安穩─有豐盛的救恩，並智慧和知識；你以敬畏耶和華為至寶。
7Behold, their brave men cry in the streets, The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
7看哪，他們的豪傑在外頭哀號；求和的使臣痛痛哭泣。
8The highways are desolate, the traveler has ceased, He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, He has no regard for man.
8大路荒涼，行人止息；敵人背約，藐視城邑，不顧人民。
9The land mourns [and] pines away, Lebanon is shamed [and] withers; Sharon is like a desert plain, And Bashan and Carmel lose [their foliage].
9地上悲哀衰殘；利巴嫩羞愧枯乾；沙崙像曠野；巴珊和迦密的樹林凋殘。
10'Now I will arise,' says the LORD, 'Now I will be exalted, now I will be lifted up.
10耶和華說：現在我要起來；我要興起；我要勃然而興。
11'You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble; My breath will consume you like a fire.
11你們要懷的是糠秕，要生的是碎秸；你們的氣就是吞滅自己的火。
12'The peoples will be burned to lime, Like cut thorns which are burned in the fire.
12列邦必像已燒的石灰，像已割的荊棘在火中焚燒。
13'You who are far away, hear what I have done; And you who are near, acknowledge My might.'
13你們遠方的人當聽我所行的；你們近處的人當承認我的大能。
14Sinners in Zion are terrified; Trembling has seized the godless. 'Who among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among us can live with continual burning?'
14錫安中的罪人都懼怕；不敬虔的人被戰兢抓住。我們中間誰能與吞滅的火同住？我們中間誰能與永火同住呢？
15He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, He who rejects unjust gain And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;
15行事公義、說話正直、憎惡欺壓的財利、擺手不受賄賂、塞耳不聽流血的話，閉眼不看邪惡事的，
16He will dwell on the heights, His refuge will be the impregnable rock; His bread will be given [him], His water will be sure.
16他必居高處；他的保障是磐石的堅壘；他的糧必不缺乏（原文是賜給）；他的水必不斷絕。
17Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will behold a far-distant land.
17你的眼必見王的榮美，必見遼闊之地。
18Your heart will meditate on terror: 'Where is he who counts? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?'
18你的心必思想那驚嚇的事，自問說：記數目的在哪裡呢？平貢銀的在哪裡呢？數戍樓的在哪裡呢？
19You will no longer see a fierce people, A people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends, Of a stammering tongue which no one understands.
19你必不見那強暴的民，就是說話深奧，你不能明白，言語呢喃，你不能懂得的。
20Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an undisturbed habitation, A tent which will not be folded; Its stakes will never be pulled up, Nor any of its cords be torn apart.
20你要看錫安─我們守聖節的城！你的眼必見耶路撒冷為安靜的居所，為不挪移的帳幕，橛子永不拔出，繩索一根也不折斷。
21But there the majestic [One], the LORD, will be for us A place of rivers [and] wide canals On which no boat with oars will go, And on which no mighty ship will pass--
21在那裡，耶和華必顯威嚴與我們同在，當作江河寬闊之地；其中必沒有盪槳搖櫓的船來往，也沒有威武的船經過。
22For the LORD is our judge, The LORD is our lawgiver, The LORD is our king; He will save us--
22因為，耶和華是審判我們的；耶和華是給我們設律法的；耶和華是我們的王；他必拯救我們。
23Your tackle hangs slack; It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly, Nor spread out the sail. Then the prey of an abundant spoil will be divided; The lame will take the plunder.
23你的繩索鬆開：不能栽穩桅杆，也不能揚起篷來。那時許多擄來的物被分了；瘸腿的把掠物奪去了。
24And no resident will say, 'I am sick'; The people who dwell there will be forgiven [their] iniquity.
24城內居民必不說：我病了；其中居住的百姓，罪孽都赦免了。
