18 Because of the mountaine of Zion which is desolate: the foxes runne vpon it.
錫安山荒涼， 野狗行在其上。
19 But thou, O Lord, remainest for euer: thy throne is from generation to generation.
耶和華啊，你存到永遠； 你的寶座存到萬代。
20 Wherefore doest thou forget vs for euer, and forsake vs so long time?
你為何永遠忘記我們？ 為何許久離棄我們？
21 Turne thou vs vnto thee, O Lord, and we shalbe turned: renue our dayes as of olde.
耶和華啊，求你使我們向你回轉， 我們便得回轉。 求你復新我們的日子，像古時一樣。
22 But thou hast vtterly reiected vs: thou art exceedingly angry against vs.
你竟全然棄絕我們， 向我們大發烈怒？
