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

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 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 thought about the days of old, about ancient times.

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

I remember what happened long ago. I spend time thinking about all your acts. I consider what your hands have done.

Wake up, arm of the Lord! Wake up! Dress yourself with strength as if it were your clothes! Wake up, just as you did in the past. Wake up, as you did long ago. Didn’t you cut Rahab to pieces? Didn’t you stab that sea monster to death?

Remember the days of long ago. Think about what the Lord did through those many years. Ask your father. He will tell you. Ask your elders. They’ll explain it to you.

God, we have heard what you did. Those who came before us have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.

Lord, be like a shepherd to your people. Take good care of them. They are your flock. They live by themselves in the safety of a forest. Rich grasslands are all around them. Let them eat grass in Bashan and Gilead just as they did long ago.The Lord says to his people,“ I showed you my wonders when you came out of Egypt long ago. In the same way, I will show them to you again.”

When they suffered, he suffered with them. He sent his angel to save them. He set them free because he is loving and kind. He lifted them up and carried them. He did it again and again in days long ago.But they refused to obey him. They made his Holy Spirit sad. So he turned against them and became their enemy. He himself fought against them.Then his people remembered what he did long ago. They recalled the days of Moses and his people. They asked,“ Where is the God who brought Israel through the Red Sea? Moses led them as the shepherd of his flock. Where is the God who put his Holy Spirit among them?He used his glorious and powerful arm to help Moses. He parted the waters of the sea in front of them. That mighty act made him famous forever.He led them through that deep sea. Like a horse in open country, they didn’t trip and fall.They were like cattle that are taken down to the plains. They were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.” That’s how he guided his people. So he made a glorious name for himself.Lord, look down from heaven. Look down from your holy and glorious throne. Where is your great love for us? Where is your power? Why don’t you show us your tender love and concern?

God, you have been my king for a long time. You are the only God who can save anyone on earth.You parted the waters of the Red Sea by your power. You broke the heads of that sea monster in Egypt.You crushed the heads of the sea monster Leviathan. You fed it to the creatures of the desert.You opened up streams and springs. You dried up rivers that flow all year long.You rule over the day and the night. You created the sun and the moon.You decided where the borders of the earth would be. You made both summer and winter.Lord, remember how your enemies have made fun of you. Remember how foolish people have attacked you with their words.
