Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude

黑夜白日，你的手在我身上沉重；我的精力耗尽，如同夏天的干旱。细拉

黑夜白日，你的手压在我身上沉重；我的精力耗尽，如同夏天的干旱。（细拉）

黑夜白日，你的手压在我身上沉重；我的精力耗尽，如同夏天的干旱。（细拉）

你昼夜管教我，我的精力耗尽，如水在盛夏枯竭。（细拉）

因为你的手昼夜重压在我身上，我的精力耗尽，好像盛暑的干旱。（细拉）

因为你的手昼夜重压在我身上，我的精力耗尽，如同在夏天的干旱中。细拉

爾手朝夕壓我、精液消耗、有如夏日暵其乾兮、○

爾朝夕譴我、精氣漸涸、有如夏日、嘆其乾兮、

主之手晝夜加重責於我、我之精液枯涸、猶如夏日之旱乾、細拉、

聖手所指。暮暮朝朝。夏日相逼。我體枯焦。

For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.

So you don’t need to be afraid of me. I won’t come down hard on you.

But please stop striking me! I am exhausted by the blows from your hand.When you discipline us for our sins, you consume like a moth what is precious to us. Each of us is but a breath. Interlude

The people summoned the Philistine rulers again and begged them,“ Please send the Ark of the God of Israel back to its own country, or it will kill us all.” For the deadly plague from God had already begun, and great fear was sweeping across the town.

Your arrows have struck deep, and your blows are crushing me.Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins.My guilt overwhelms me— it is a burden too heavy to bear.My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins.I am bent over and racked with pain. All day long I walk around filled with grief.A raging fever burns within me, and my health is broken.I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart.

For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red hot coals.My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite.

My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead.

But now their faces are blacker than soot. No one recognizes them in the streets. Their skin sticks to their bones; it is as dry and hard as wood.

My skin has turned dark, and my bones burn with fever.

I need someone to mediate between God and me, as a person mediates between friends.

If they cross the border of our land and go to Beth shemesh, we will know it was the Lord who brought this great disaster upon us. If they don’t, we will know it was not his hand that caused the plague. It came simply by chance.”

The famine has blackened our skin as though baked in an oven.

In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered.We wither beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your fury.

But when the Ark arrived at Gath, the Lord’s heavy hand fell on its men, young and old; he struck them with a plague of tumors, and there was a great panic.

Then the Lord’s heavy hand struck the people of Ashdod and the nearby villages with a plague of tumors.When the people realized what was happening, they cried out,“ We can’t keep the Ark of the God of Israel here any longer! He is against us! We will all be destroyed along with Dagon, our god.”
