我若說：『願黑暗遮蔽着我，願我周圍的光成為黑夜』，

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。

如果我說：“願黑暗遮蓋我，願我周圍的亮光變成黑夜。”

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,”

他將深奧的事從黑暗中啓現出，又使漆黑顯出亮光。

居然竟說：『永恆主必不看，雅各的上帝必不關心。』

永恆主發神諭說：人哪能在隱密處藏身，使我看不見他呢？永恆主發神諭說：我，難道我不充滿着天地麼？

他心裏說：『上帝忘了；他掩了面，永不看了。』永恆主啊，求你起來；上帝啊，求你舉手；別忘了困苦人。惡人為甚麼藐視上帝，心裏說：『你必不追究呢』？

『上帝不是如天之高麼？你看星宿的極頂，何其高聳呀！故此你老說：「上帝知道甚麼？他哪能看透幽暗而施行審判呢？密雲遮蔽着他，使他不能看見；他是周遊於天穹之上的。」

有禍啊，那些深深包藏着謀略、不順從永恆主的人！他們所行的都在黑暗中，自己說：『誰看見我們？誰知道我們？』
