1 Maschil. Of Asaph. Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?
2 Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.
3 Go up and see the unending destruction; all the evil which your haters have done in the holy place;
4 Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.
5 They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.
6 Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades.
7 They have put on fire your holy place; they have made the place of your name unclean, pulling it down to the earth.
8 They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.
9 We do not see our signs: there is no longer any prophet, or anyone among us to say how long.
10 O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?
11 Why are you keeping back your hand, and covering your right hand in your robe?
12 For from the past God is my King, working salvation in the earth.
13 The sea was parted in two by your strength; the heads of the great sea-beasts were broken.
14 The heads of the great snake were crushed by you; you gave them as food to the fishes of the sea.
15 You made valleys for fountains and springs; you made the ever-flowing rivers dry.
16 The day is yours and the night is yours: you made the light and the sun.
17 By you all the limits of the earth were fixed; you have made summer and winter.
18 Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.
19 O give not the soul of your dove to the hawk; let not the life of the poor go out of your memory for ever.
20 Keep in mind your undertaking; for the dark places of the earth are full of pride and cruel acts.
21 O let not the crushed be turned back in shame; let the low man and the poor give praise to your name.
22 Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.
23 Keep in mind the voice of your haters; the outcry of those who come against you goes up every day.
1 神啊！ 你为什么永远丢弃我们呢？为什么你的怒气向你草场上的羊群好像烟冒出呢？（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）
2 求你记念你在古时买赎的会众， 就是你赎回作你产业的民族； 求你记念你所居住的锡安山。
3 求你举步去看那些长久荒凉的地方， 去看仇敌在圣所里所行的一切恶事。
4 你的敌人在敬拜你的聚会中吼叫， 他们竖起了自己的旗帜为记号。
5 他们好像那些举起斧子， 在树林中砍伐树木的人。
6 圣殿中的一切雕刻， 他们都用斧子和铳子打碎了。
7 他们用火把你的圣所烧成焦土， 他们亵渎你名的居所。
8 他们心里说： "我们要把它们完全毁灭！ "他们烧毁了地上一切敬拜 神的聚会地方。
9 我们看不见我们的记号， 也不再有先知； 我们中间也没有人知道这灾祸要到几时。
10 神啊！ 敌人辱骂你要到几时呢？仇敌亵慢你的名要到永远吗？
11 你为什么把你的手， 就是你的右手收回呢？求你从怀中抽出来毁灭他们。
12 神自古以来就是我的君王， 在地上施行拯救。
13 你曾用你的大能分开大海， 把海中怪兽的头都打碎了。
14 你砸碎了利未亚坦（"利未亚坦"为原文音译词， 或译： "海怪"〔伯3:8〕或"鳄鱼"〔伯41:1〕）的头， 把它给住在旷野的人作食物。
15 你曾开辟泉源和溪流， 又使长流不息的江河干涸。
16 白昼是你的， 黑夜也是你的， 月亮和太阳， 都是你设立的。
17 地上的一切疆界都是你立定的， 夏天和冬天都是你制定的。
18 耶和华啊！ 仇敌辱骂你， 愚顽人亵渎你的名， 求你记念这事。
19 求你不要把你斑鸠的性命交给野兽， 不要永远忘记你困苦人的性命。
20 求你顾念所立的约， 因为地上黑暗的地方充满了强暴的居所。
21 不要使受欺压的人蒙羞回去， 要使困苦、贫穷的人赞美你的名。
22 神啊！ 求你起来， 为你的案件辩护， 要记得愚顽人终日对你的辱骂。
23 求你不要忘记你敌人的声音， 不要忘记那些起来与你为敌的人不住加剧地喧闹。
