“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。

『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、

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 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?

I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth; I suffer Your terrors; I am distraught.Your fierce wrath has gone over me; Your terrors have cut me off.They came around me all day long like water; They engulfed me altogether.Loved one and friend You have put far from me, And my acquaintances into darkness.

“ My soul loathes my life; I will give free course to my complaint, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

I cried out to God with my voice— To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me.In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted.I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. SelahYou hold my eyelids open; 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 meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search.Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more?Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore?Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah
