| 1萬有的主宰天主！求你憐憫我們，轉面回顧，賜我們得見你仁慈的光輝。 | 1Have mercy on us, Master, God of all, and look on us; make every nation stand in fear of you. |
| 2求你賜那不尋找你的萬民都敬畏你，讓他們知道，除你以外別無天主，為叫他們傳揚你偉大的作為。 | 2Take action against the pagan nations and let them see your power. |
| 3求你舉起你的手來，攻擊外邦的人民，使他們見到你的威能。 | 3You have shown them your holiness through what happened to us, so now let us see your great power in acting among them. |
| 4你在他們面前，對我們怎樣顯示了你是聖者，願你在我們面前，也對他們怎樣顯示偉大， | 4Let them acknowledge, as we have acknowledged, that there is no God but you, Lord. |
| 5好叫他們認識你，如同我們認識了你一樣；除你以外，沒有天主，上主啊！ | 5Give new signs, do fresh wonders, stretch out your hand and be glorified in your strength. |
| 6求你重顯神蹟，重行奇事， | 6Kindle your fury and rouse your anger, destroy your opponents, crush your enemy. |
| 7顯耀你的力量和你的大能。 | 7Hasten the day, remember your covenant so that we may speak of your great deeds. |
| 8求你大發雷霆，發洩義怒， | 8Let the survivors be consumed in fiery wrath, let those who oppress send to perdition. |
| 9剷除敵對，消滅仇人。 | 9Crush the heads of hostile rulers - those who say they alone count. |
| 10求你使拯救的時日急速來臨，記念你的誓約，好叫萬邦稱揚你的偉業。 | 10Gather all the tribes of Jacob, give them back their inheritance as in the beginning. |
| 11願那生還的人，也被怒火燒盡；願那欺壓你民族的人，都遭毀滅。 | 11Have pity, Lord, on the people known by your Name, on Israel whom you called your firstborn. |
| 12求你打碎仇人首領的頭顱，因為他們說：我們以外，沒有別人。 | 12Show compassion to the holy city, to Jerusalem where you rest. |
| 13求你聚集雅各伯的眾支派，使他們明白，除你以外，沒有天主；使他們傳揚你偉大的作為；以他們作產業，如同起初一樣。 | 13Fill Zion with the fame of your wonders, and your people with your glory. |
| 14上主啊！求你憐憫那因你得名的民族，就是你視為長子的以色列民族。 | 14Confirm the promises made to your people long ago and fulfill the promises made in your name. |
| 15求你憐憫你的聖城耶路撒冷，你安居的住所。 | 15Reward those who wait for you and fulfill the words of your prophets. |
| 16求你使熙雍布滿你的威嚴，使聖殿彌漫你的光榮。 | 16Hear the prayer of your servants, Lord; hear your priests giving Aaron's blessing to your people. |
| 17求你為你首要的功業作證，履行古先知們因你的名所說的預言。 | 17So that all on earth may acknowledge that you are Lord and everlasting God. |
| 18求你賞報期待你的人民，好使你的先知們被人認為忠實。上主啊！求你俯聽你僕人們的祈禱， | 18The stomach takes in all kinds of food but one food is better than another. |
| 19依照亞郎給與你百姓的祝福，指導我們走上正義的道路，使世上所有的人，都知道你是天主，萬世萬代的天主。 | 19Just as the tongue can distinguish the flavor of game, so does the alert mind detect lies. |
| 20胃能容納任何食物，但有的食物卻比其他食物更好。 | 20A crooked heart causes sorrow, but an experienced person knows how to get even with him. |
| 21味覺能分辨野味；同樣，明達人的心能辨別虛詐的言語。 | 21A woman will accept any husband but some daughters are better than others. |
| 22歪曲的心使人悲傷，但有經驗的人，卻能防備他。 | 22Woman's beauty rejoices people and is beyond all that could be wished for. |
| 23一個女子可嫁給任何男子，但有的女子卻比其他女子更好。 | 23If she is kindly-spoken and gentle he is the most fortunate of men. |
| 24婦女的美麗，能使她的丈夫容貌煥發，這也是男人的最大願望。 | 24When a man marries he acquires a fortune, someone who understands him and who will help and support him. |
| 25若婦女善於措辭規勸，說話仁慈溫柔，她的丈夫就決不尋常。 | 25When there is no hedge the property will be destroyed; and when a man has no wife he is a fretful wanderer. |
| 26獲得賢能妻子的，就是獲得了最好的產業；即一個與自己相稱的助手，和扶持自己的柱石。 | 26Who would trust a clever robber flitting from town to town? |
| 27那裏沒有垣墻，財產必被搶掠；那裏沒有妻子，人就要漂泊嗟嘆。 | 27And who would trust a man without a nest, who lodges wherever nightfall finds him? |
| 28誰能相信一個武裝起來，從一城竄入另一城的強盜呢？同樣，誰也不相信一個沒有家室，一到晚上便到處尋找居所的人。 | 28 |
