I wish he would crush me! I wish he would just cut off my life!

就是愿神把我压碎，伸手将我剪除。

愿上帝把我压碎，伸手将我剪除。

愿神把我压碎，伸手将我剪除。

愿祂压碎我，伸手毁灭我。

愿他乐意把我压碎，愿他放手把我剪除。

就是願神把我壓碎，伸手將我剪除。

願上帝把我壓碎，伸手將我剪除。

願神把我壓碎，伸手將我剪除。

願祂壓碎我，伸手毀滅我。

願他樂意把我壓碎，願他放手把我剪除。

願上帝喜歡把我壓碎，但願他鬆手將我剪掉。

即其樂意壓我、伸手絕我、

願上帝糜爛我體、立舉其手、喪亡我命、若斷機杼。

願天主擊碎我身、舉舉原文作釋手以絕我命、

that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut off my life!

that it would please God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!

I wish he would crush me. I wish he would reach out his hand and kill me.

that he would decide to crush me, to unleash his power and cut me off!

Oh, that God would decide to crush me, That He would let loose His hand and cut me off!

That it would please God to crush me, That He would loose His hand and cut me off!

Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

that He would decide to crush me, to unleash His power and cut me off!

Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

And that God would be willing to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and kill me.

Then he traveled for one day into the desert. He came to a small bush. He sat down under it. He prayed that he would die.“ Lord, I’ve had enough,” he said.“ Take my life. I’m no better than my people of long ago.”

So I would rather choke to death. That would be better than living in this body of mine.I hate my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone. My days don’t mean anything to me.

Lord, take away my life. I’d rather die than live.”

In those days, people will look for a way to die but won’t find it. They will want to die, but death will escape them.

“ Why should those who suffer ever be born? Why should life be given to those whose spirits are bitter?Why is life given to those who long for death that doesn’t come? Why is it given to those who would rather search for death than for hidden treasure?Why is life given to those who are actually happy and glad when they reach the grave?

“ Have pity on me, my friends! Please have pity! God has struck me down with his powerful hand.

When the sun rose, God sent a burning east wind. The sun beat down on Jonah’s head. It made him very weak. He wanted to die. So he said,“ I’d rather die than live.”

“ I wish you would hide me in a grave! I wish you would cover me up until your anger passes by! I wish you would set the time for me to spend in the grave and then bring me back up!

Day and night you punished me. I became weaker and weaker as I do in the heat of summer.

I have tested you in the furnace of suffering. I have tried to make you pure. But I did not use as much heat as it takes to make silver pure.I tried to purify you for my own honor. I did it for the honor of my name. How can I let myself be dishonored? I will not give up my glory to any other god.“ Family of Jacob, listen to me. People of Israel, pay attention. I have chosen you. I am the first and the last. I am the Lord.With my own hand I laid the foundations of the earth. With my right hand I spread out the heavens. When I send for them, they come and stand ready to obey me.

I can’t carry all these people by myself. The load is too heavy for me.Is this how you are going to treat me? If you are pleased with me, just put me to death right now. Don’t let me live if I have to see myself destroyed anyway.”
