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

“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。

「然而，我去東邊，祂不在那裡；我到西邊，也找不到祂。

可是我往前走，他不在那裡；我若往後退，我也不能見他。

『啊，我往東行，他不在那裏；往西邊呢，我也不能見他；

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;

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;

Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; And backward, but I cannot perceive 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:

“ If I go to the east, he is not there, and to the west, yet I do not perceive him.

“ If I go east, he is not there; if west, I can’t find him;

You say you can’t see him, but he will bring justice if you will only wait.

“ Yet when he comes near, I cannot see him. When he moves by, I do not see him go.

He alone can never die, and he lives in light so brilliant that no human can approach him. No human eye has ever seen him, nor ever will. All honor and power to him forever! Amen.

O Lord, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I am in trouble?

Truly, O God of Israel, our Savior, you work in mysterious ways.

O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?Turn and answer me, O Lord my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
