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

“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？

我雖言之、我憂不解、我若不言、我憂其離我乎、

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?

“ 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?

I[ am] afflicted and ready to die from[ my] youth up:[ while] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.Lover and friend hast thou put far from me,[ and] mine acquaintance into darkness.

My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

I cried unto God with my voice,[ even] unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth[ his] promise fail for evermore?Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
