第五章
谁能带我去你里面安息？谁能送你进入我的心田，胜过偏差，让我的偏差被涂抹，让我可以拥抱你，我唯一至宝？你对我来说是什么？求你怜悯，让我能够这样说。我对你是什么，而你竟命我爱你？如果我不爱你，你就对我发怒，并用严重的灾祸威胁我？如果我不爱你，这仅仅是小小的不幸吗？对我来说不是这样。啊，我的主，我的神，以你的怜悯告诉我，你对我来说是什么？“对我的灵魂说，我让你得救。”这样说，我就能听见。请开启我心灵的耳朵，我的神，“请你对我的灵魂说，我让你得救。”我将紧跟这声音，我将紧紧抓住你。不要向我掩面。即使我会死，请让我看见你的面容，免得我真的死了。
CHAPTER V
5. Who shall bring me to rest in thee? Who will send thee into my heart
so to overwhelm it that my sins shall be blotted out and I may embrace
thee, my only good? What art thou to me? Have mercy that I may speak.
What am I to thee that thou shouldst command me to love thee, and if I
do it not, art angry and threatenest vast misery? Is it, then, a
trifling sorrow not to love thee? It is not so to me. Tell me, by thy
mercy, O Lord, my God, what thou art to me. "Say to my soul, I am your
salvation." [14] So speak that I may hear. Behold, the ears of my heart
are before thee, O Lord; open them and "say to my soul, I am your
salvation." I will hasten after that voice, and I will lay hold upon
thee. Hide not thy face from me. Even if I die, let me see thy face
lest I die.
