Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

甚愿我的民肯听从我，以色列肯行我的道，

我的子民若肯听从我，以色列肯行我的道，

我的子民若肯听从我，以色列肯行我的道，

但愿我的子民肯听从我，以色列人肯遵行我的道。

只要我的子民听从我，以色列肯遵行我的道，

但愿我的子民肯听从我，以色列肯走我的道路，

甚願我的民肯聽從我，以色列肯行我的道，

我的子民若肯聽從我，以色列肯行我的道，

我的子民若肯聽從我，以色列肯行我的道，

但願我的子民肯聽從我，以色列人肯遵行我的道。

只要我的子民聽從我，以色列肯遵行我的道，

啊，只要我人民肯聽我，以色列肯遵行我的道路，

但願我的子民肯聽從我，以色列肯走我的道路，

深願我民聽我、以色列遵行我道兮、

如以色列族、我民恪遵我命、聽從我道兮、

我民若肯聽從我、以色列人若肯遵行我道、

縱人欲。昧天理。愚而好自用。冥頑不靈徇私智。

“ If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways,

“ I wish my people would listen to me! I wish Israel would live as I want them to live!

Oh, that my people would listen to me! Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths!

If only my people would listen to me and Israel would follow my ways,

Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

“ Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!

If only My people would listen to Me and Israel would follow My ways,

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me,[ and] Israel had walked in my ways!

If only my people would obey me! If only Israel would keep my commands!

Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

Oh that they had such a heart as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments, that it might go well with them and with their descendants forever!

Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;

And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it,saying,“ Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

“ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!

“ And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good?

If they were wise, they would understand this; they would discern their latter end!
