I think of the good old days, long since ended,

我追想古时之日，上古之年。

我追想古时之日，上古之年。

我追想古时之日，上古之年。

我回想从前的日子，那久远的岁月，

我回想过往的日子，上古的年代；

我追想古时的日子、亘古的岁月。

我追想古時之日，上古之年。

我追想古時之日，上古之年。

我追想古時之日，上古之年。

我回想從前的日子，那久遠的歲月，

我回想過往的日子，上古的年代；

我思想着古時日子，想念到往古年代。

我追想古時的日子、亙古的歲月。

我追思昔日、上古之年、

余回憶前時、追維陳跡、

我回想從前、我追思昔日、

通宵不成寐。黯然自銷魂。

I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;

I thought about days gone by. I thought about the years of long ago.

I consider the days of old, the years long ago.

I consider days of old, years long past.

I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago.

I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

I thought about the days of old, about ancient times.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

I remember the days of old. I ponder all your great works and think about what you have done.

Wake up, wake up, O Lord! Clothe yourself with strength! Flex your mighty right arm! Rouse yourself as in the days of old when you slew Egypt, the dragon of the Nile.

Remember the days of long ago; think about the generations past. Ask your father, and he will inform you. Inquire of your elders, and they will tell you.

O God, we have heard it with our own ears— our ancestors have told us of all you did in their day, in days long ago:

O Lord, protect your people with your shepherd’s staff; lead your flock, your special possession. Though they live alone in a thicket on the heights of Mount Carmel, let them graze in the fertile pastures of Bashan and Gilead as they did long ago.“ Yes,” says the Lord,“ I will do mighty miracles for you, like those I did when I rescued you from slavery in Egypt.”

In all their suffering he also suffered, and he personally rescued them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years.But they rebelled against him and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and fought against them.Then they remembered those days of old when Moses led his people out of Egypt. They cried out,“ Where is the one who brought Israel through the sea, with Moses as their shepherd? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among his people?Where is the one whose power was displayed when Moses lifted up his hand— the one who divided the sea before them, making himself famous forever?Where is the one who led them through the bottom of the sea? They were like fine stallions racing through the desert, never stumbling.As with cattle going down into a peaceful valley, the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. You led your people, Lord, and gained a magnificent reputation.”Lord, look down from heaven; look from your holy, glorious home, and see us. Where is the passion and the might you used to show on our behalf? Where are your mercy and compassion now?

You, O God, are my king from ages past, bringing salvation to the earth.You split the sea by your strength and smashed the heads of the sea monsters.You crushed the heads of Leviathan and let the desert animals eat him.You caused the springs and streams to gush forth, and you dried up rivers that never run dry.Both day and night belong to you; you made the starlight and the sun.You set the boundaries of the earth, and you made both summer and winter.See how these enemies insult you, Lord. A foolish nation has dishonored your name.
