斯世之人、由尊逮卑、咸尚虛妄、若權衡之、輕於呼吸之氣兮。

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。

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。

卑贱人不过是一丝气息，尊贵人不过是一场幻影，把他们放在天平上一秤，比空气还轻，毫无分量。

卑贱的人真是虚空，高贵的人也是虚假，放在天平上就必升起；他们加在一起比空气还轻。

卑贱的人不过是虚空，尊贵的人也只是虚幻；把他们放在天平上，他们那边就向上升，他们加起来比空气还轻。

下流人真是虛空；上流人也是虛假；放在天平裏就必浮起；他們一共比空氣還輕。

人真是虛空，人真是虛假；放在天平裏就必浮起，他們一共比空氣還輕。

人真是虛空，人真是虛假；放在天平裏就必浮起，他們一共比空氣還輕。

卑賤人不過是一絲氣息，尊貴人不過是一場幻影，把他們放在天平上一秤，比空氣還輕，毫無分量。

卑賤的人真是虛空，高貴的人也是虛假，放在天平上就必升起；他們加在一起比空氣還輕。

下流人不過是虛幻，上流人乃是虛假；放在天平裏就浮起；一概是噓氣。

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、

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

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.

予之生命、廣約一掌、自爾視之、一若無物、人雖完體、實則氣而已。

其視列國之民、若滴水滲於器外、若微塵留于衡上、其移海島、若徙草芥。

萬國在上帝前、曠然無物、悉屬虛浮、

當惟耶和華是恃、毋恃牧怕兮。

爾罰人罪、其所珍貴者悉廢之、如衣被蠧兮、凡此世人、實則氣而已。

又問、枝拉人將以我及僕從付於掃羅之手乎。曰、彼將付爾於其手。

自謂許妻以女、若設坎阱、使非利士人擊之。告大闢曰、予今必於二女中以其一妻爾。掃羅使僕、私語大闢、曰、王悅爾、其臣僕愛爾、必為王壻。僕如是以告。大闢曰、我素貧乏、為人藐視、為王之壻、豈易易哉、掃羅之僕以大闢言反告。掃羅曰、當告大闢、王不欲受聘、第欲爾斷非利士人之皮一百、以報王仇。掃羅之意欲藉非利士人手以殺大闢。王僕以此言告大闢、大闢喜、欲為王壻、未屆期。

西弗人至其庇亞、覲掃羅、曰、大闢匿於我地、處於叢林、扼其險要、在哈基拉山、耶是門南。請王任意而至、我將付之於王手。

或告大闢曰、亞希多弗從押沙龍、在叛黨之中。大闢曰、願耶和華以亞希多弗之謀、變為不智。

曰、非也、上帝真、億兆偽、如經云、主言時稱義、鞫時獲勝、

凡在以色列族中、欲詣王所以訟者、押沙龍待之若此、以是陰得人心。

我率爾吐詞、言彼兆民、無一誠慤兮、

大闢為掃羅所遣、不論何適、無不亨通。掃羅擢之為武士長、掃羅臣僕與億兆皆悅焉。

掃羅曰、我有罪而誤行、不智孰甚。我子大闢、今可遄歸、爾以我命為寶、我亦不復害爾。大闢曰、王戟在此、使一少者來取、可也。願耶和華視人忠義、而報施焉。今日耶和華付爾於我手、而我念沐膏之故、不敢相攻。我今日以爾命為寶、願耶和華以我命為寶、援我出諸難。掃羅曰、願我子大闢可獲純嘏、爾將大有作為、而獲勝焉。大闢往、掃羅歸。

眾呼曰、去之去之、釘十字架、彼拉多曰、爾曹之王、可釘十字架乎、祭司諸長對曰、該撒外無我王、

眾婦踴躍、唱予和汝、曰、掃羅殺人維千、大闢戮人盈萬。

前後眾庶呼曰、大闢之裔、萬福歟、托主名來者、當見寵也、在上者萬福矣、○

予知斯人、乃予同儔、乃予密友、昔與心交、同詣上帝之室、

［口底］［口結］即衡之之義、上帝衡爾、知有所缺、
