我望吉祥、反凶災至、我冀光明、及幽暗來、

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。

我望福祉、而禍害至、我待光明、而幽暗來、

仰望福祉、反罹禍害、守待光明、反遭暗昧。

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.

我儕望平康、反遭災害、望得愈之時至、反受驚恐、

主豈盡棄猶大乎、主心豈厭惡郇乎、何為擊我、使不能醫治、我望平康而反遭災禍、望得痊愈而反遇驚惶、

我所懼者臨我、我所慮者及我、我不得平康、不得安息、不得寧靜、有危難臨及我身、

瑪律居民、因貨財見奪、中心憂傷、或作瑪律居民為己貨財憂戚蓋主降災於耶路撒冷之門、蓋主降災於耶路撒冷之門原文作因有災自主而降於耶路撒冷之門

爾中誰畏主而聽其僕之命、行於暗中、不得光明者、當恃主名、仰賴己之天主、

塞我路徑、使我不得行、又使黑暗在我道途、

其幕之光必暗、其燈必息、

我不如在幽暗未來之前滅絕、在昏黑蒙蔽我面之先死亡、

必自光明見逐於黑暗、必被驅出乎世界、

善人必蒙光輝普照、心正之人、必得喜樂、

我之痛楚、恆久不息、我之創傷甚危、不得醫痊何故、主使我失望、若人望得水、而泉源忽竭、

我自以為必善終於家、必善終於家原文作必終於我巢我之壽命必多如塵沙、我之壽命必多如塵沙或作我必增壽如鳳
