Da du mich in der Not anriefst, half ich dir aus; ich erhörte dich, da dich das Wetter überfiel, und versuchte dich am Haderwasser. (Sela.)
Oye, pueblo mío y te protestaré. Israel, si me oyeres,
Escucha, pueblo mío, y te advertiré. ¡Israel, si tan solo me escucharas!
Ecoute, mon peuple! et je t'avertirai; Israël, puisses-tu m'écouter!
Io ti dissi: Ascolta, popol mio, ed io ti farò le mie protestazioni; O Israele, attendessi tu pure a me!
Ouve-me, povo meu, e eu te atestarei: Ah, Israel, se me ouvires!
聽啊,我的子民,我要勸戒你; 以色列 啊,我真願你肯聽從我。
