我雖言之、我憂不解、我若不言、我憂其離我乎、

“我虽说话，忧愁仍不得消解；我虽停住不说，忧愁就离开我吗？

“我若说话，痛苦仍不得缓解；我若停止，痛苦就离开我吗？

“我若说话，痛苦仍不得缓解；我若停止，痛苦就离开我吗？

“我若申辩，痛苦不减；我若缄默，痛苦犹在。

我若说话，痛苦仍不消解，我若闭口不说，痛苦也不离开我。

我雖說話，憂愁仍不得消解；我雖停住不說，憂愁就離開我嗎？

「我若說話，痛苦仍不得緩解；我若停止，痛苦就離開我嗎？

「我若說話，痛苦仍不得緩解；我若停止，痛苦就離開我嗎？

「我若申辯，痛苦不減；我若緘默，痛苦猶在。

我若說話，痛苦仍不消解，我若閉口不說，痛苦也不離開我。

『就使我說話，痛傷仍然不得制止；就使我自忍不說，多少傷痛會離開我呢？

今我言、不得自解其憂、不言、不得自釋其悶。

我若發言、我苦猶不得解、我若緘默、我苦豈離於我、

“ Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I refrain, it does not go away.

“ If I speak, it doesn’t help me. And if I keep quiet, my pain doesn’t go away.

“ If I speak, my pain is not assuaged, and if I forbear, how much of it leaves me?

Instead, I suffer if I defend myself, and I suffer no less if I refuse to speak.

If I speak, my suffering is not relieved, and if I hold back, does any of it leave me?

“ If I speak, my pain is not lessened, And if I refrain, what pain leaves me?

“ Though I speak, my grief is not relieved; And if I remain silent, how am I eased?

Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased?

Even if I speak, my suffering is not relieved, and if I hold back, what have I lost?

Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and[ though] I forbear, what am I eased?

“ But if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain from speaking– how much of it goes away?

“ Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?

我自幼遭難而瀕死、遘爾威烈而迷亂兮、爾之忿怒覆沒我、威烈滅絕我、猶之波濤、終日環我、協同困我兮、爾使我之良朋密友遠我、相譏隱匿於暗兮、

我心厭我生命、將縱言我憂、述我中心之苦、

我呼籲上帝、向上帝發聲、彼必垂聽兮、我遭難之日尋求主、夜間舉手不輟、我心不受慰兮、我憶上帝而煩擾、默然思維、神即喪失兮、爾使我目不交睫、煩擾而不能言兮、我追思昔日、上古之年、回憶夜間歌詞、中心思維、以神詳察兮、主豈永棄、不復施恩乎、其慈惠豈永息、其應許豈永廢乎、上帝豈忘施恩澤、因怒絕其慈仁乎、
