請看,眾王紛紛相聚,他們蜂擁走向前去,
5 They they saw thus they were astonished they were terrified they hurried away.
他們一見,驚魂喪膽,張惶失措,抱頭鼠竄。
6 Trembling it seized them there anguish like [woman] giving birth.
他們在那裡惶懼恐怖,苦痛有如臨盆的孕婦;
7 With a wind of [the] east you shatter ships of Tarshish.
好像塔爾史士的船隻,為強烈的東風所襲擊。
8 Just as we have heard - so we have seen in [the] city of Yahweh of hosts in [the] city of God our God he will establish it until perpetuity (Selah)
在萬軍上主的城裏,即我們天主的城堡,我們所見正如所聞:天主必使城堡永固。

願熙雍山因你的公正而喜樂;猶大女子也要因此歡欣踴躍。
12 Go around Zion and go round it count towers its.
你們環繞熙雍巡遊,你們數點她的城樓,
13 Set heart your - to rampart its walk through fortresses its so that you may recount [it] to a generation later.
觀察她的城廓,巡視她的碉堡,是為叫你們向後代子孫陳述:
14 For this - [is] God God our forever and ever he he will guide us on dying.
天主的確是偉大的天主,也永遠是我們的天主,始終領導我們的天主。
