我望福祉、而禍害至、我待光明、而幽暗來、

我仰望得好处，灾祸就到了；我等待光明，黑暗便来了。

我仰望福气，灾祸就来到；我等待光明，黑暗便来临。

我仰望福气，灾祸就来到；我等待光明，黑暗便来临。

我盼望幸福，来的却是灾祸；我期待光明，来的却是黑暗。

我希望得福乐，灾祸就来了；我等候光明，幽暗就到了。

我仰望得好處，災禍就到了；我等待光明，黑暗便來了。

我仰望福氣，災禍就來到；我等待光明，黑暗便來臨。

我仰望福氣，災禍就來到；我等待光明，黑暗便來臨。

我盼望幸福，來的卻是災禍；我期待光明，來的卻是黑暗。

我希望得福樂，災禍就來了；我等候光明，幽暗就到了。

但我希望得福，災禍竟到了；我等着亮光，竟來了黑暗。

仰望福祉、反罹禍害、守待光明、反遭暗昧。

我望吉祥、反凶災至、我冀光明、及幽暗來、

Yet when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, then came darkness.

I hoped good things would happen, but something evil came. I looked for light, but all I saw was darkness.

But when I hoped for good, evil came, and when I waited for light, darkness came.

So I looked for good, but evil came instead. I waited for the light, but darkness fell.

But when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, darkness came.

When I expected good, evil came; When I waited for light, darkness came.

But when I looked for good, evil came to me; And when I waited for light, then came darkness.

When I looked for good, then evil came; And when I waited for light, there came darkness.

But when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, darkness came.

When I looked for good, then evil came[ unto me]: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

But when I hoped for good, trouble came; when I expected light, then darkness came.

When I looked for good, then evil came. When I waited for light, darkness came.

我望平康、未得裨益、我期醫治、而受恐惶、

爾盡棄猶大乎、爾心厭惡錫安乎、奚為擊我、無術可療、我望平康、未得裨益、我期醫治、而受恐惶、

所慮者臨我、所懼者及我、不得平康、不得安居、不得宴息、而難至焉、

瑪律居民憂慮、而望福祉、因禍自耶和華降於耶路撒冷之門、

爾中誰畏耶和華、而聽其僕之聲乎、行於幽暗、不得光明者、宜恃耶和華名、賴其上帝、

彼樊我徑、俾不得過、置黑暗於我途、

其幕之光必暗、其上之燈必熄、

我之恐懼、非因幽暗、非因昏黑蔽我面也、

將被驅逐、自光入暗、屏之出於世界、

光輝為行義者而佈、喜樂為心正者所獲、

我之痛苦、奚久不已、我之創傷、何為不瘳、爾之於我、果如無常之溪、無水之井乎、○

自謂必終於我巢、增加我日、如沙之多、
