世間人無論尊卑、皆屬虛妄、若置之權衡、必然浮起、悉輕於虛空、悉輕於虛空或作比呼吸之氣尤輕

下流人真是虚空；上流人也是虚假；放在天平里就必浮起；他们一共比空气还轻。

人真是虚空，人真是虚假；放在天平里就必浮起，他们一共比空气还轻。

卑賤的人不過是虛空，尊貴的人也只是虛幻；把他們放在天平上，他們那邊就向上升，他們加起來比空氣還輕。

斯世之人、卑者虛無、尊者妄誕、置之於衡則起、皆輕於氣兮、

吾民其恃主。向主披肺腑。雖在危厄終必安。主是吾人停泊所。

Surely the lowborn are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie. If weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.

Surely ordinary people are only a breath. Important people are not what they seem to be. If they were weighed on a scale, they wouldn’t amount to anything. Together they are only a breath.

Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.

Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind, and the powerful are not what they appear to be. If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air.

Common people are only a vapor; important people, an illusion. Together on a scale, they weigh less than a vapor.

People of low standing are only breath, and people of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up. Together they are lighter than breath.

Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

Men are only a vapor; exalted men, an illusion. Weighed in the scales, they go up; together they are less than a vapor.

Surely men of low degree[ are] vanity,[ and] men of high degree[ are] a lie: to be laid in the balance, they[ are] altogether[ lighter] than vanity.

Men are nothing but a mere breath; human beings are unreliable. When they are weighed in the scales, all of them together are lighter than air.

Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

主賜我生命、長不過掌、生存之年、在主前如同無有、一切世人、雖然豎立、亦是虛幻、細拉、

其視萬民如水器之一滴、如衡上之微塵、其舉海島、如舉點埃、

萬民在主前如無物、被主視為空虛、悉屬烏有、

仰賴主勝如倚恃侯伯、

主因愆尤罰人、人之精華消損、如被蟲蝕、世人固為虛幻、細拉、

或告大衛曰、亞希多弗亦在判黨之中、從押沙龍、大衛禱曰、求主敗亞希多弗之謀、或作亞希多弗定謀求主使人視為愚

非也、當言天主為真、世人皆偽、如經載云、在爾言時得稱義、在爾被審時獲勝、

以色列人中、凡欲赴王前求判者、押沙龍皆如此待之、於是押沙龍陰得陰得原文作竊以色列人心、

我驚惶時、曾云世人盡皆虛假、

大衛為掃羅所遣、無論何往、無不亨通、掃羅立之為武士長、眾民與掃羅臣僕皆悅、○

掃羅曰、我有罪、我子大衛可歸、今爾以我命為寶、我亦不復加害於爾、我之所為、愚且謬甚、大衛曰、王之槍在此、可命一少者過而取之、今日主付爾於我手、而我不敢舉手害主所立受膏者、主必視人之善義忠信而報之、我今日以爾命為重、主亦必以我命為重、救我出於一切患難、掃羅謂大衛曰、我子大衛、願爾得福、爾必大有作為、亦必獲勝、於是大衛行其途、掃羅歸其所、

提客勒者、言爾見衡於權、知爾虧缺、
