1 "我的气息将断， 我的日子快尽， 坟墓已为我预备好了。

2 真有嘲笑人的在我这里， 我的眼看着他们的悖逆。

3 愿你给我保证， 亲自为我作保； 除你以外有谁肯与我击掌作保呢？

4 你蒙蔽了他们的心， 不让他们明白； 因此你必不高举他们。

5 为分产业而控告朋友的， 他子孙的眼睛也要昏花。

6 他使我成为民众的笑柄， 人人都吐唾沫在我的脸上。

7 我的眼睛因忧愁而昏花， 我的身体瘦骨如柴。

8 正直人必因此惊讶， 要被激发起来， 攻击不敬虔的人。

9 义人必坚守自己的道路， 手洁的人要力上加力。

10 然而你们众人， 可以再来， 在你们中间我找不到一个有智慧的人。

11 我的日子已过， 我的谋算和我心中所想的都已粉碎。

12 他们把黑夜变为白昼， 因为黑暗的缘故， 他们就说： ‘光明临近了。’

13 我若等待阴间作我的家， 在黑暗中铺张我的床榻；

14 我若对深坑说： ‘你是我的父亲’， 对虫说： ‘你是我的母亲， 我的姊妹’，

15 那么， 我的指望在哪里呢？我的指望谁能看得见呢？

16 等到安息在尘土中的时候， 那些指望必下到阴间的门闩那里。"

1 My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct,

The grave is ready for me.

2 Surely there are mockers with me,

And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation.

3 Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself;

Who is there that will strike hands with me?

4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding:

Therefore shalt thou not exalt them.

5 He that denounceth his friends for a prey,

Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

6 But he hath made me a byword of the people;

And they spit in my face.

7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow,

And all my members are as a shadow.

8 Upright men shall be astonished at this,

And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

9 Yet shall the righteous hold on his way,

And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.

10 But as for you all, come on now again;

And I shall not find a wise man among you.

11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off,

Even the thoughts of my heart.

12 They change the night into day:

The light, say they, is near unto the darkness.

13 If I look for Sheol as my house;

If I have spread my couch in the darkness;

14 If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father;

To the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister;

15 Where then is my hope?

And as for my hope, who shall see it?

16 It shall go down to the bars of Sheol,

When once there is rest in the dust.
