「要是能秤量我的苦難，把我的災殃放在秤上，

“惟愿我的烦恼称一称，我一切的灾害放在天平里；

“惟愿我的烦恼被秤一秤，我一切的灾害放在天平里，

“惟愿我的烦恼被秤一秤，我一切的灾害放在天平里，

“要是能称量我的苦难，把我的灾殃放在秤上，

“但愿称称我的烦恼，把我的灾害一起放在天平上。

惟願我的煩惱稱一稱，我一切的災害放在天平裏；

「惟願我的煩惱被秤一秤，我一切的災害放在天平裏，

「惟願我的煩惱被秤一秤，我一切的災害放在天平裏，

“但願稱稱我的煩惱，把我的災害一起放在天平上。

『哦，願我的苦惱被稱一稱，我的災害也同放於天平。

惟願權我之憂、衡我之難、

我有深憂、願權衡其輕重、

如權我之煩惱、以衡衡我災難、

“ If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales!

“ I wish my great pain could be weighed! I wish all my suffering could be weighed on scales!

“ Oh that my vexation were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!

“ If my misery could be weighed and my troubles be put on the scales,

If only my grief could be weighed and my devastation placed with it on the scales.

“ Oh if only my grief were actually weighed And laid in the balances together with my disaster!

“ Oh, that my grief were fully weighed, And my calamity laid with it on the scales!

Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances!

If only my grief could be weighed and my devastation placed with it in the scales.

Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!

“ Oh, if only my grief could be weighed, and my misfortune laid on the scales too!

“ Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!

「我的哀訴至今充滿苦楚，祂的責罰使我呻吟不止。

願上帝把我放在公義的天平上秤量，讓祂知道我的清白。

但現在苦難一來，你便灰心喪膽；災禍來臨，你便驚慌失措。
