Let Him remove His rod from me, And let not the dread of Him terrify me.

愿他把杖离开我，不使惊惶威吓我。

愿他使他的杖离开我，不使他的威严恐吓我，

愿他使他的杖离开我，不使他的威严恐吓我，

若能拿开祂责打我的刑杖，使我不再受祂的惊吓，

愿他使他的刑杖离开我，愿他可畏的威严不惊吓我，

願他把杖離開我，不使驚惶威嚇我。

願他使他的杖離開我，不使他的威嚴恐嚇我，

願他使他的杖離開我，不使他的威嚴恐嚇我，

若能拿開祂責打我的刑杖，使我不再受祂的驚嚇，

願他使他的刑杖離開我，願他可畏的威嚴不驚嚇我，

願他使他的刑杖離開我，不使我懼怕他的心來使我驚惶；

願其杖離我、其威烈不復怖我、

如主不加譴責、使我驚懼、

若天主不復加譴責於我、不再使我驚懼、

someone to remove God’s rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no more.

I wish someone would keep God from punishing me. Then his terror wouldn’t frighten me anymore.

Let him take his rod away from me, and let not dread of him terrify me.

The mediator could make God stop beating me, and I would no longer live in terror of his punishment.

Let him take his rod away from me so his terror will no longer frighten me.

Let Him take His rod away from me, And do not let dread of Him terrify me.

Let him take his rod away from me, And let not his terror make me afraid:

Let Him take His rod away from me so His terror will no longer frighten me.

Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

who would take his rod away from me so that his terror would not make me afraid.

Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;

Remove Your plague from me; Because of the opposition of Your hand I am perishing.

Will His majesty not terrify you, And the dread of Him fall upon you?

Behold, no fear of me should terrify you, Nor should my pressure weigh heavily on you.

Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?

“ Only two things I ask that You do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face:Remove Your hand from me, And may the dread of You not terrify me.Then call and I will answer; Or let me speak, then reply to me.

For disaster from God is a terror to me, And because of His majesty I can do nothing.

“ Oh that I were as in months gone by, As in the days when God watched over me;When His lamp shone over my head, And by His light I walked through darkness;Just as I was in the days of my youth, When the protection of God was over my tent;When the Almighty was still with me, And my children were around me;When my steps were bathed in cream, And the rock poured out streams of oil for me!When I went out to the gate of the city, When I took my seat in the public square,The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the old men arose and stood.The leaders stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths;The voices of the prominent people were hushed, And their tongues stuck to their palates.For when an ear heard, it called me blessed, And when an eye saw, it testified in support of me,Because I saved the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.The blessing of the one who was about to perish came upon me, And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a headband.I was eyes to those who were blind, And feet to those who could not walk.I was a father to the poor, And I investigated the case which I did not know.I broke the jaws of the wicked And rescued the prey from his teeth.Then I thought,‘ I will die with my family, And I will multiply my days as the sand.My root is spread out to the waters, And dew lies on my branch all night.My glory is ever new with me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.’“ To me they listened and waited, And they kept silent for my advice.After my words they did not speak again, And my speech dropped on them.They waited for me as for the rain, And opened their mouths as for the late rain.I smiled at them when they did not believe, And they did not look at my kindness ungraciously.I chose a way for them and sat as chief, And lived as a king among the troops, As one who comforted the mourners.

“ At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place.

Therefore, I would be terrified at His presence; When I consider this, I am frightened of Him.
