I say to God my Rock,“ Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go around in sorrow? Why am I treated so badly by my enemies?”

我要对神我的磐石说：“你为何忘记我呢？我为何因仇敌的欺压时常哀痛呢？”

我要对上帝—我的磐石说：“你为何忘记我呢？我为何因仇敌的欺压时常哀痛呢？”

我向上帝我磐石曰、爾何為忘我、我何為因敵之虐、而哀痛兮、

曰、我之上帝、如我岡巒、何遺我兮、何為敵人虐我、使予殷憂兮、

我向天主云、我倚主如磐、因何忘我、因何使我受仇敵凌虐、時常悲哀、

追念昔日兮。慈恩何富。朝承主之恩澤兮。暮抒予之仰慕。

I say to God my Rock,“ Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?”

I say to God, my rock:“ Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

“ O God my rock,” I cry,“ why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies?”

I will say to God, my rock,“ Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”

I will say to God my rock,“ Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

I will say to God my Rock,“ Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

I will say to God, my rock,“ Why have You forgotten me? Why must I go about in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

I will pray to God, my high ridge:“ Why do you ignore me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?”

I will ask God, my rock,“ Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

I am bent over. I’ve been brought very low. All day long I go around weeping.

You are God, my place of safety. Why have you turned your back on me? Why must I go around in sorrow? Why am I beaten down by my enemies?

The Lord is my rock and my place of safety. He is the God who saves me. My God is my rock. I go to him for safety. He is like a shield to me. He’s the power that saves me. He’s my place of safety.

Lord, think about what has happened to us. Look at the shame our enemies have brought on us.The land you gave us has been turned over to outsiders. Our homes have been given to strangers.Our fathers have been killed. Our mothers don’t have husbands.We have to buy the water we drink. We have to pay for the wood we use.Those who chase us are right behind us. We’re tired and can’t get any rest.We put ourselves under the control of Egypt and Assyria just to get enough bread.Our people of long ago sinned. And they are now dead. We are being punished because of their sins.Slaves rule over us. No one can set us free from their power.We put our lives in danger just to get some bread to eat. Robbers in the desert might kill us with their swords.Our skin is as hot as an oven. We are so hungry we’re burning up with fever.Our women have been treated badly in Zion. Our virgins have been treated badly in the towns of Judah.Our princes have been hung up by their hands. No one shows our elders any respect.Our young men are forced to grind grain at the mill. Our boys almost fall down as they carry heavy loads of wood.Our elders don’t go to the city gate anymore. Our young men have stopped playing their music.There isn’t any joy in our hearts. Our dancing has turned into mourning.All of our honor is gone. How terrible it is for us because we have sinned!

I hoped good things would happen, but something evil came. I looked for light, but all I saw was darkness.My insides are always churning. Nothing but days of suffering are ahead of me.My skin has become dark, but the sun didn’t do it. I stand up in the community and cry out for help.I’ve become a brother to wild dogs. Owls are my companions.My skin grows black and peels. My body burns with fever.My lyre is tuned to sadness. My flute makes a sound like weeping.

I’m crying so much I can’t see very well. Lord, I call out to you every day. I lift up my hands to you in prayer.

My God, my God, why have you deserted me? Why do you seem so far away when I need you to save me? Why do you seem so far away that you can’t hear my groans?My God, I cry out in the daytime. But you don’t answer. I cry out at night. But you don’t let me sleep.

They remembered that God was their Rock. They remembered that God Most High had set them free.

I looked and saw how much people were suffering on this earth. I saw the tears of those who are suffering. They don’t have anyone to comfort them. Power is on the side of those who treat them badly. Those who are suffering don’t have anyone to comfort them.

I’m troubled by what my enemies say about me. I’m upset because they say they will harm me. They cause me all kinds of suffering. When they are angry, they attack me with their words.

It is surely true that he is my rock. He is the God who saves me. He is like a fort to me. I will always be secure.

Family of Jacob, why do you complain,“ The Lord doesn’t notice our condition”? People of Israel, why do you say,“ Our God doesn’t pay any attention to our rightful claims”?

The Lord answers,“ Can a mother forget the baby who is nursing at her breast? Can she stop having tender love for the child who was born to her? She might forget her child. But I will not forget you.

Lord, how long must I wait? Will you forget me forever? How long will you turn your face away from me?

Lord, my Rock, I call out to you. Pay attention to me. If you remain silent, I will die. I will be like those who go down into the grave.

Lord, wake up! Why are you sleeping? Get up! Don’t say no to us forever.Why do you turn your face away from us? Why do you forget our pain and troubles?

It is surely true that he is my rock and the God who saves me. He is like a fort to me, so I will always be secure.I depend on God to save me and to honor me. He is my mighty rock and my place of safety.

Has God forgotten to help us? Has he held back his tender love because he was angry?”
