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

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’，

我若說：「我的臥榻必安慰我，我的床必擔當我的哀怨，

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、

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;’

I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

If I say,‘ I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression, and smile,’I still dread all my sufferings, for I know you will not hold me innocent.

so I have been allotted months of futility, and nights of misery have been assigned to me.When I lie down I think,‘ How long before I get up?’ The night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn.

You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
