I thought about the days of old, about ancient times.

我追想古时之日，上古之年。

我追想古时之日，上古之年。

我追想古时之日，上古之年。

我回想从前的日子，那久远的岁月，

我回想过往的日子，上古的年代；

我追想古时的日子、亘古的岁月。

我追想古時之日，上古之年。

我追想古時之日，上古之年。

我追想古時之日，上古之年。

我回想從前的日子，那久遠的歲月，

我回想過往的日子，上古的年代；

我思想着古時日子，想念到往古年代。

我追想古時的日子、亙古的歲月。

我追思昔日、上古之年、

余回憶前時、追維陳跡、

我回想從前、我追思昔日、

通宵不成寐。黯然自銷魂。

I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;

I thought about days gone by. I thought about the years of long ago.

I consider the days of old, the years long ago.

I think of the good old days, long since ended,

I consider days of old, years long past.

I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago.

I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

I consider days of old, years long past.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

I recall the old days; I meditate on all you have done; I reflect on your accomplishments.

Wake up! Wake up! Clothe yourself with strength, O arm of the LORD! Wake up as in former times, as in antiquity! Did you not smash the Proud One? Did you not wound the sea monster?

Remember the ancient days; bear in mind the years of past generations. Ask your father and he will inform you, your elders, and they will tell you.

O God, we have clearly heard; our ancestors have told us what you did in their days, in ancient times.

Shepherd your people with your shepherd’s rod, the flock that belongs to you, the one that lives alone in a thicket, in the midst of a pastureland. Allow them to graze in Bashan and Gilead, as they did in the old days.“ As in the days when you departed from the land of Egypt, I will show you miraculous deeds.”

Through all that they suffered, he suffered too. The messenger sent from his very presence delivered them. In his love and mercy he protected them; he lifted them up and carried them throughout ancient times.But they rebelled and offended his holy Spirit, so he turned into an enemy and fought against them.His people remembered the ancient times. Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea, along with the shepherd of his flock? Where is the one who placed his holy Spirit among them,the one who made his majestic power available to Moses, who divided the water before them, gaining for himself a lasting reputation,who led them through the deep water? Like a horse running on flat land they did not stumble.Like an animal that goes down into a valley to graze, so the Spirit of the LORD granted them rest. In this way you guided your people, gaining for yourself an honored reputation.Look down from heaven and take notice, from your holy, majestic palace! Where are your zeal and power? Do not hold back your tender compassion!

But God has been my king from ancient times, performing acts of deliverance on the earth.You destroyed the sea by your strength; you shattered the heads of the sea monster in the water.You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you fed him to the people who live along the coast.You broke open the spring and the stream; you dried up perpetually flowing rivers.You established the cycle of day and night; you put the moon and sun in place.You set up all the boundaries of the earth; you created the cycle of summer and winter.Remember how the enemy hurls insults, O LORD, and how a foolish nation blasphemes your name!
