如果我說：“願黑暗遮蓋我，願我周圍的亮光變成黑夜。”

我若说：“黑暗必定遮蔽我，我周围的亮光必成为黑夜”，

我若说“黑暗必定压碎我，我周围的亮光必成为黑夜”，

我若说“黑暗必定压碎我，我周围的亮光必成为黑夜”，

我想，黑暗一定可以遮蔽我，让我四围变成黑夜。

如果我说：“愿黑暗遮盖我，愿我周围的亮光变成黑夜。”

就算我说：“黑暗必然覆盖我，我周围的亮光也必变为黑夜”，

我若說：黑暗必定遮蔽我，我周圍的亮光必成為黑夜；

我若說「黑暗必定壓碎我，我周圍的亮光必成為黑夜」，

我若說「黑暗必定壓碎我，我周圍的亮光必成為黑夜」，

我想，黑暗一定可以遮蔽我，讓我四圍變成黑夜。

我若說：『願黑暗遮蔽着我，願我周圍的光成為黑夜』，

就算我說：「黑暗必然覆蓋我，我周圍的亮光也必變為黑夜」，

若謂幽暗必蔽我、環我之光、變為昏夜、

如我匿於幽暗之所、自謂人不及見、其暗必光兮、

我若言黑暗能遮蔽我、以黑夜為我之光、以黑夜為我之光或作願我四圍之光明為黑夜

莫謂暗窒。靈鑒無形。

If I say,“ Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”

Suppose I were to say,“ I’m sure the darkness will hide me. The light around me will become as dark as night.”

If I say,“ Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,”

I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night—

If I say,“ Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light around me will be night”—

If I say,“ Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,”

If I say,“ Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me;

If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night;

If I say,“ Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light around me will be night”—

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

If I were to say,“ Certainly the darkness will cover me, and the light will turn to night all around me,”

If I say,“ Surely the darkness will overwhelm me. The light around me will be night,”

他從黑暗中彰顯奧祕，把死蔭領進光中。

他們還說：“耶和華必看不見，雅各的神並不留意。”

“人怎能躲藏在隱密處，以致我看不見他呢？（這是耶和華的宣告）。我豈不是充滿天地嗎？”這是耶和華的宣告。

他心裡說：“神已經忘記了，他已經掩面，永遠不看。”耶和華啊！求你起來；神啊！求你舉起手來，不要忘記困苦的人。惡人為甚麼藐視神，心裡說：“你必不追究”呢？

神不是高於諸天嗎？你看看最高的星星，多麼的高啊！你說：‘神知道甚麼？他能透過幽暗施行審判嗎？密雲把他遮蓋，使他不能看見我們；他在天上的圓圈上面走來走去。’

那些向耶和華深藏謀略的人，有禍了！他們在暗中行事，說：“誰看見我們？誰知道我們？”
