「看哪，我往前走，他不在那裏；往後退，也沒有察覺他。

“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。

『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;

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;

“ 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;

何況你說，你不得見他。案件就在他面前，你等候他吧。

就是那獨一不死、住在人不能靠近的光裏，是人未曾看見，也是不能看見的。願尊貴和永遠的權能都歸給他。阿們！

耶和華啊，你為甚麼站在遠處？在患難的時候為甚麼隱藏？

救主－以色列的上帝啊，你誠然是隱藏自己的上帝。

耶和華啊，你忘記我要到幾時呢？要到永遠嗎？你轉臉不顧我要到幾時呢？我心裏籌算，終日愁苦，要到幾時呢？我的仇敵升高壓制我，要到幾時呢？耶和華－我的上帝啊，求你看顧我，應允我！求你使我眼目明亮，免得我沉睡至死；
