求主降臨彰顯威榮

64 願你裂天而降!(本節在《馬索拉文本》為63:19)

願群山都在你面前震動!

好像火燒著乾柴,又像火把水燒開,

使你的敵人認識你的名,

使列國在你面前發顫。(本節在《馬索拉文本》為64:1)

你行了可畏的事,是我們料想不到的,

那時你降臨,群山都在你面前震動。

自認罪過

從古時以來,人未曾聽過,

耳未曾聞過,眼未曾見過,

在你以外還有甚麼神,

能為等候他的人行事的。

你善待那些喜歡行義,

在你的道路上記念你的人。

看哪!你曾發怒,因為我們犯了罪;

這樣的情形已經很久,

我們還能得救嗎?

我們眾人都像不潔淨的人,

我們所有的義,都像污穢的衣服;

我們眾人都像葉子枯乾,

我們的罪孽好像風一般把我們吹去。

沒有人呼求你的名,

沒有人奮起抓著你;

因為你掩面不顧我們,

使我們在自己罪孽的權勢下融化。

耶和華啊!現在你還是我們的父;

我們不過是泥土,你才是陶匠;

我們眾人都是你手所作的。

耶和華啊!求你不要大發烈怒。

不要永遠記念罪孽。

求你垂看我們,我們眾人都是你的子民。

10 你的聖城變了曠野,

錫安成了曠野,

耶路撒冷成了荒場。

11 我們那聖潔和榮美的殿,

就是我們的列祖讚美你的所在,

被火燒了。

我們所喜愛的一切,都成了廢墟。

12 耶和華啊!對這些事你還忍得住嗎?

你仍然緘默不言,使我們受苦到極點嗎?

64 If only you would tear the heavens open
and come down,(A)
so that mountains would quake at your presence(B)
just as fire kindles brushwood,
and fire boils water—
to make your name known to your enemies,
so that nations would tremble at your presence!
When you did awesome works(C)
that we did not expect,
you came down,(D)
and the mountains quaked at your presence.
From ancient times no one has heard,
no one has listened to,
no eye has seen any God except you
who acts on behalf of the one who waits for him.(E)
You welcome the one who joyfully does what is right;
they remember you in your ways.
But we have sinned, and you were angry.
How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?[a]
All of us have become like something unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like a polluted[b] garment;(F)
all of us wither like a leaf,(G)
and our iniquities(H) carry us away like the wind.
No one calls on your name,
striving to take hold of you.
For you have hidden your face from us(I)
and made us melt because of[c][d] our iniquity.
Yet Lord, you are our Father;(J)
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we all are the work of your hands.(K)
Lord, do not be terribly angry
or remember our iniquity forever.(L)
Please look—all of us are your people!
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.(M)
11 Our holy and beautiful[e] temple,
where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned down,
and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.(N)
12 Lord, after all this, will you restrain yourself?
Will you keep silent and afflict us severely?(O)
