“ How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me,

“ How I long for the times when things were better! That’s when God watched over me.

“ Oh, that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me,

因为耶和华喜爱正义，不丢弃信靠祂的人，永远保护他们。恶人的后代必被铲除。

我曾决意铲除、拆毁、推翻、剿灭他们，降灾给他们，将来我必塑造、栽培他们。这是耶和华说的。

同样，我注定要度过虚空的岁月，熬过悲惨的黑夜。

我是耶稣基督的奴仆、雅各的兄弟犹大，现在写信给蒙父上帝呼召、眷爱、被耶稣基督看顾的人。
