So I said:“ Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days; your years go on through all generations.

我说：“我的神啊，不要使我中年去世。你的年数世世无穷！”

我说：“我的上帝啊，不要使我中年去世。你的年数世世无穷！”

我说：“我的神啊，不要使我中年去世。你的年数世世无穷！”

我说：“我的上帝啊，你世代长存，求你不要叫我中年早逝。

所以我说：“我的神啊！求你不要使我中年去世，你的年数万代无疆。

我说：“我的神哪，不要在我年日的中途就把我带走！你的岁月世世代代长存。

我說：我的神啊，不要使我中年去世。你的年數世世無窮！

我說：「我的上帝啊，不要使我中年去世。你的年數世世無窮！」

我說：「我的神啊，不要使我中年去世。你的年數世世無窮！」

我說：「我的上帝啊，你世代長存，求你不要叫我中年早逝。

所以我說：“我的神啊！求你不要使我中年去世，你的年數萬代無疆。

以致我說：『我的上帝啊，不要使我於中年灰化上升哦！你的年歲代代無窮。』

我說：「我的神哪，不要在我年日的中途就把我帶走！你的歲月世世代代長存。

我曰、我上帝歟、爾年歷萬世、勿使我中年而逝兮、

禱曰、我之上帝、爾壽無疆、余年正壯、毋使予短折兮、

我即云、求我天主、莫使我中年逝世、惟主之年壽、永世無窮、

我躬逢聖怒。中道將衰落。

So I said,“ My God, don’t let me die in the middle of my life. You will live for all time to come.

“ O my God,” I say,“ take me not away in the midst of my days— you whose years endure throughout all generations!”

But I cried to him,“ O my God, who lives forever, don’t take my life while I am so young!

I say,“ My God, do not take me in the middle of my life! Your years continue through all generations.

I say,“ My God, do not take me away in the middle of my days, Your years are throughout all generations.

I said,“ O my God, Do not take me away in the midst of my days; Your years are throughout all generations.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.

I say:“ My God, do not take me in the middle of my life! Your years continue through all generations.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years[ are] throughout all generations.

I say,“ O my God, please do not take me away in the middle of my life! You endure through all generations.

I said,“ My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again before I depart and am no more.”

Lord, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, you will never die. You, Lord, have appointed them to execute judgment; you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish.

But you, Lord, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations.

I said,“ In the prime of my life must I go through the gates of death and be robbed of the rest of my years?”I said,“ I will not again see the Lord himself in the land of the living; no longer will I look on my fellow man, or be with those who now dwell in this world.Like a shepherd’s tent my house has been pulled down and taken from me. Like a weaver I have rolled up my life, and he has cut me off from the loom; day and night you made an end of me.I waited patiently till dawn, but like a lion he broke all my bones; day and night you made an end of me.I cried like a swift or thrush, I moaned like a mourning dove. My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens. I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”But what can I say? He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this. I will walk humbly all my years because of this anguish of my soul.Lord, by such things people live; and my spirit finds life in them too. You restored me to health and let me live.Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back.For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.The living, the living— they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness.The Lord will save me, and we will sing with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the temple of the Lord.Isaiah had said,“ Prepare a poultice of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”Hezekiah had asked,“ What will be the sign that I will go up to the temple of the Lord?”

“ I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God,“ who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.

John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne,

How great is God— beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.
