If we had forgotten the name of our God and spread out our hands to a foreign god,

倘若我们忘了神的名，或向别神举手，

倘若我们忘记上帝的名，或向外邦神明举手，

倘若我们忘记神的名，或向外邦神明举手，

倘若我们忘记我们的上帝，或举手向外邦的神明祷告，

如果我们忘记了我们神的名，或是向别神伸手祷告；

如果我们忘记了我们神的名，或伸开双手向外族的神明祷告，

倘若我們忘了神的名，或向別神舉手，

倘若我們忘記上帝的名，或向外邦神明舉手，

倘若我們忘記神的名，或向外邦神明舉手，

倘若我們忘記我們的上帝，或舉手向外邦的神明禱告，

如果我們忘記了我們神的名，或是向別神伸手禱告；

倘若我們忘了上帝的名，或向外族人的神伸開了雙手去禱告，

如果我們忘記了我們神的名，或伸開雙手向外族的神明禱告，

我儕若忘上帝之名、或向他神舉手、

我之上帝、予不敢忘、異邦之上帝、予不敢禮兮、

我儕若忘天主之名、或舉手禱告他神、

奚為降異災。使為野犬食。死蔭重重垂。令我不得活。

If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

We didn’t forget our God. We didn’t spread out our hands in prayer to a false god.

If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread our hands in prayer to foreign gods,

If we had forgotten the name of our God and spread out our hands to a foreign god,

If we had forgotten the name of our God Or extended our hands to a strange god,

If we had forgotten the name of our God, Or stretched out our hands to a foreign god,

If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

If we had rejected our God, and spread out our hands in prayer to another god,

If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god,

There must not be a strange god among you; you must not bow down to a foreign god.

As for you, if you redirect your heart and lift up your hands to Him in prayer—

Ambassadors will come from Egypt; Cush will stretch out its hands to God.

Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you,

If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has rushed to deceit,let God weigh me in accurate scales, and He will recognize my integrity.If my step has turned from the way, my heart has followed my eyes, or impurity has stained my hands,let someone else eat what I have sown, and let my crops be uprooted.If my heart has been seduced by my neighbor’s wife or I have lurked at his door,let my own wife grind grain for another man, and let other men sleep with her.For that would be a disgrace; it would be a crime deserving punishment.For it is a fire that consumes down to Abaddon; it would destroy my entire harvest.If I have dismissed the case of my male or female servants when they made a complaint against me,what could I do when God stands up to judge? How should I answer Him when He calls me to account?Did not the One who made me in the womb also make them? Did not the same God form us both in the womb?If I have refused the wishes of the poor or let the widow’s eyes go blind,if I have eaten my few crumbs alone without letting the fatherless eat any of it—for from my youth, I raised him as his father, and since the day I was born I guided the widow—if I have seen anyone dying for lack of clothing or a needy person without a cloak,if he did not bless me while warming himself with the fleece from my sheep,if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child when I saw that I had support in the city gate,then let my shoulder blade fall from my back, and my arm be pulled from its socket.For disaster from God terrifies me, and because of His majesty I could not do these things.If I placed my confidence in gold or called fine gold my trust,if I have rejoiced because my wealth is great or because my own hand has acquired so much,if I have gazed at the sun when it was shining or at the moon moving in splendor,so that my heart was secretly enticed and I threw them a kiss,this would also be a crime deserving punishment, for I would have denied God above.Have I rejoiced over my enemy’s distress, or become excited when trouble came his way?I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking for his life with a curse.Haven’t the members of my household said,“ Who is there who has not had enough to eat at Job’s table?”No stranger had to spend the night on the street, for I opened my door to the traveler.Have I covered my transgressions as others do by hiding my guilt in my heart,because I greatly feared the crowds, and the contempt of the clans terrified me, so I grew silent and would not go outside?If only I had someone to hear my case! Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me. Let my Opponent compose His indictment.I would surely carry it on my shoulder and wear it like a crown.I would give Him an account of all my steps; I would approach Him like a prince.If my land cries out against me and its furrows join in weeping,if I have consumed its produce without payment or shown contempt for its tenants,then let thorns grow instead of wheat and stinkweed instead of barley. The words of Job are concluded.

All this has happened to us, but we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.

Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in front of the entire congregation of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.

Moses said to him,“ When I have left the city, I will extend my hands to Yahweh. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know the earth belongs to Yahweh.

Yahweh my God, if I have done this, if there is injustice on my hands,if I have done harm to one at peace with me or have plundered my adversary without cause,may an enemy pursue and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah

They forgot what He had done, the wonderful works He had shown them.
