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, that Israel would walk in my ways!

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 their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever! (niv)

If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your well- being like the waves of the sea. (niv)

As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over itand said,“ If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace— but now it is hidden from your eyes. (niv)

“ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. (niv)

And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good? (niv)

If only they were wise and would understand this and discern what their end will be! (niv)
