Because they are so evil, make sure you don’t let them escape. God, bring down the nations in your anger.

他们岂能因罪孽逃脱吗？神啊，求你在怒中使众民堕落！

他们岂能脱罪呢？上帝啊，求你在怒中使万民败落！

他们岂能脱罪呢？神啊，求你在怒中使万民败落！

上帝啊，不要让这些作恶的人逃脱，求你在怒中毁灭他们。

愿他们因罪孽的缘故不能逃脱；神啊！愿你在怒中使这些人败落。

他们既有这些罪，难道还能逃脱吗？神哪，求你在怒气中使这民众败落！

他們豈能因罪孽逃脫嗎？神啊，求你在怒中使眾民墮落！

他們豈能脫罪呢？上帝啊，求你在怒中使萬民敗落！

他們豈能脫罪呢？神啊，求你在怒中使萬民敗落！

上帝啊，不要讓這些作惡的人逃脫，求你在怒中毀滅他們。

願他們因罪孽的緣故不能逃脫；神啊！願你在怒中使這些人敗落。

願你因他們的罪孽也照樣將報應秤給他們。上帝啊，願你以震怒、使別族之民敗落。

他們既有這些罪，難道還能逃脫嗎？神哪，求你在怒氣中使這民眾敗落！

恃惡豈能免罰、上帝歟、尚其發怒、傾覆斯族兮、

彼惟作惡、曷能逭罰、上帝兮、怒責斯民、使之隕墜。

彼眾作惡、豈能逃脫、求天主震怒、使此民墮落、

鳩眾埋伏。窺我蹤跡。處心積慮。欲褫我魄。

Because of their wickedness do not let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!

Don’t let them get away with their wickedness; in your anger, O God, bring them down.

Will they escape in spite of such sin? God, bring down the nations in wrath.

Because of their wickedness, will there be an escape for them? In anger make the peoples fall down, God!

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God!

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

Will they escape in spite of such sin? God, bring down the nations in wrath.

Shall they escape by iniquity? in[ thine] anger cast down the people, O God.

Because they are bent on violence, do not let them escape! In your anger bring down the nations, O God!

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

God, you will bring sinners down to the grave. Murderers and liars won’t live out even half of their lives. But I trust in you.

Then you come and stand in front of me. You keep coming to this house where I have put my Name. You say,‘ We are safe.’ You think you are safe when you do so many things I hate.

Let death take my enemies by surprise. Let them be buried alive, because their hearts and homes are full of evil.

Lord, please listen to me! Hear what my enemies are saying about me!Should the good things I’ve done be paid back with evil? But my enemies have dug a pit for me. Remember that I stood in front of you and spoke up for them. I tried to turn your anger away from them.So let their children die of hunger. Let my enemies be killed in war. Let their wives lose their children and husbands. Let their men be put to death. Let their young men be killed in battle.Bring their enemies against them without warning. Let cries be heard from their houses. They have dug a pit to capture me. They have hidden traps for my feet.But Lord, you know all about their plans to kill me. Don’t forgive their crimes. Don’t erase their sins from your sight. Destroy my enemies. Punish them when the time to show your anger comes.

Pour out your great anger on the nations. They don’t pay any attention to you. They refuse to worship you. They have destroyed the people of Jacob. They’ve wiped them out completely. They’ve also destroyed the land they lived in.

You brag,“ We have entered into a covenant with the place of the dead. We have made an agreement with the grave. When a terrible plague comes to punish us, it can’t touch us. That’s because we depend on lies to keep us safe. We hide behind what isn’t true.”

Lord, confuse the sinners and keep them from understanding one another. I see people destroying things and fighting in the city.

Your eyes are too pure to look at what is evil. You can’t put up with the wrong things people do. So why do you put up with those who can’t be trusted? The evil Babylonians swallow up those who are more godly than themselves. So why are you silent?

No one can stop the wind from blowing. And no one has the power to decide when they will die. No one is let out of the army in times of war. And evil won’t let go of those who practice it.

See how those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down and can’t get up.

Can you have anything to do with rulers who aren’t fair? Can those who make laws that cause suffering be friends of yours?Evil people join together against those who do what is right. They sentence to death those who aren’t guilty of doing anything wrong.
