我若說：「我的臥榻必安慰我，我的床必擔當我的哀怨，

若说：我的床必安慰我，我的榻必解释我的苦情，

我若说：‘我的床必安慰我，我的榻必分担我的苦情’，

我若说：‘我的床必安慰我，我的榻必分担我的苦情’，

我以为床铺是我的安慰，卧榻可解除我的哀愁，

我若说：‘我的床必安慰我，我的榻必减轻我的苦情’，

若說：我的牀必安慰我，我的榻必解釋我的苦情，

我若說：『我的床必安慰我，我的榻必分擔我的苦情』，

我若說：『我的床必安慰我，我的榻必分擔我的苦情』，

我以為床鋪是我的安慰，臥榻可解除我的哀愁，

我若說：‘我的床必安慰我，我的榻必減輕我的苦情’，

如曰我牀必慰我、我榻必解我憂、

我如曰、登斯榻可得慰、寢於床可解憂、

我若言、我床必慰我、我榻必解我憂、

When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint,

Sometimes I think my bed will comfort me. I think my couch will keep me from being unhappy.

When I say,‘ My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,’

I think,‘ My bed will comfort me, and sleep will ease my misery,’

When I say,“ My bed will comfort me, and my couch will ease my complaint,”

If I say,‘ My couch will comfort me, My bed will ease my complaint,’

When I say,‘ My bed will comfort me, My couch will ease my complaint,’

When I say, My bed shall comfort me, My couch shall ease my complaint;

When I say: My bed will comfort me, and my couch will ease my complaint,

When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

If I say,“ My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,”

When I say,‘ My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint;’

我因歎息而困乏；我每夜以眼淚使床漂浮着，把床榻濕透。

我若說：我要忘掉我的哀怨，要撇棄愁容，顯着喜色；我就懼怕我一切苦痛，因為我知道你必不以我為無辜。

照樣子、我也有虛空之歲月遺傳於我，有苦難之夜分派給我。我躺臥時、總說：「我甚麼時候才可以起來？」黑夜漫長；我翻來翻去、足足翻到天亮。

你使我眼巴巴睡不着覺；我煩亂不安，連話都說不出。
