I remember how I suffered and wandered. I remember how bitter my life was.

耶和华啊，求你记念我如茵陈和苦胆的困苦窘迫。

求你记得我的困苦和流离，它如茵陈和苦胆一般；

求你记得我的困苦和流离，它如茵陈和苦胆一般；

想起我的痛苦和漂泊流离，就如苦艾和胆汁一样苦涩。

回忆起我的困苦飘流，就象是苦堇和毒草。

耶和華啊，求你記念我如茵蔯和苦膽的困苦窘迫。

求你記得我的困苦和流離，它如茵蔯和苦膽一般；

求你記得我的困苦和流離，它如茵蔯和苦膽一般；

想起我的痛苦和漂泊流離，就如苦艾和膽汁一樣苦澀。

回憶起我的困苦飄流，就像是苦堇和毒草。

追想着我的苦難和流浪簡直就是毒菜和苦堇。

我之禍患艱難、茵蔯苦膽、尚其憶之兮、

余也追思禍患、回憶苦境、如荼如膽兮。

我遭患難災禍、若食茵蔯、若服苦毒、求主垂念、

I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.

Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall!

The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words.

Remember my affliction and my homelessness, the wormwood and the poison.

Remember my misery and my homelessness, the wormwood and bitterness.

Remember my affliction and roaming, The wormwood and the gall.

Remember mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

Remember my affliction and my homelessness, the wormwood and the poison.

Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

Remember my impoverished and homeless condition, which is a bitter poison.

Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.

He has surrounded me and attacked me. He has made me suffer bitterly. He has made things hard for me.

The Lord has made my life bitter. He has made me suffer bitterly.

So now the Lord who rules over all speaks. He is the God of Israel. He says,“ I will make these people eat bitter food. I will make them drink poisoned water.

Remember how short my life is. You have created all people for such a useless purpose!

Lord, remember David and all the times he didn’t do what he wanted.

Lord, remember how my enemies have made fun of me. I’ve had to put up with mean words from all the nations.

“ Our God, you are the great God. You are mighty and wonderful. You keep the covenant you made with us. You show us your love. So don’t let all our suffering seem like a small thing to you. We’ve suffered greatly. So have our kings and leaders. So have our priests and prophets. Our people who lived long ago also suffered. And all your people are suffering right now. In fact, we’ve been suffering from the time of the kings of Assyria until today.

God, remember that my life is only a breath. I’ll never be happy again.
