『啊，我往東行，他不在那裏；往西邊呢，我也不能見他；

“只是，我往前行，他不在那里，往后退，也不能见他。

“看哪，我往前走，他不在那里；往后退，也没有察觉他。

“看哪，我往前走，他不在那里；往后退，也没有察觉他。

“然而，我去东边，祂不在那里；我到西边，也找不到祂。

可是我往前走，他不在那里；我若往后退，我也不能见他。

只是，我往前行，他不在那裏，往後退，也不能見他。

「看哪，我往前走，他不在那裏；往後退，也沒有察覺他。

「看哪，我往前走，他不在那裏；往後退，也沒有察覺他。

我行於前、彼不在焉、我退於後、亦不見之、

乃趨之於前、而彼不見、索之於後、而彼不在、

乃我往東主不在焉、往西不見之、

“ But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him.

“ But if I go to the east, God isn’t there. If I go to the west, I don’t find him.

“ Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I do not perceive him;

I go east, but he is not there. I go west, but I cannot find him.

If I go east, he is not there, and if I go west, I cannot perceive him.

“ Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

“ Look, I go forward, but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
