我則徒然潔淨我心、枉然洗淨我手、

我实在徒然洁净了我的心，徒然洗手表明无辜。

我实在徒然洁净了我的心，徒然洗手表明我的无辜，

我实在徒然洁净了我的心，徒然洗手表明我的无辜，

我洁身自爱，保持清白，实属徒然。

我谨守我心纯洁实在徒然；我洗手表明清白也是枉然。

即使我保持心纯洁，洗净双手表明清白，也都是徒然的！

我實在徒然潔淨了我的心，徒然洗手表明無辜。

我實在徒然潔淨了我的心，徒然洗手表明我的無辜，

我實在徒然潔淨了我的心，徒然洗手表明我的無辜，

我潔身自愛，保持清白，實屬徒然。

我謹守我心純潔實在徒然；我洗手表明清白也是枉然。

唉，我保持我心純潔、實在無用。我洗手表明無辜，也是徒然。

即使我保持心純潔，洗淨雙手表明清白，也都是徒然的！

我潔己心、盥手以表無辜、乃徒然兮、

我潔予心、濯余手、豈不徒勞兮。

心跡蹤雙清。境遇反日蹙。

Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and have washed my hands in innocence.

It seems as if I have kept my heart pure for no reason. It didn’t do me any good to wash my hands to show that I wasn’t guilty of doing anything wrong.

All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence.

Did I keep my heart pure for nothing? Did I keep myself innocent for no reason?

Did I purify my heart and wash my hands in innocence for nothing?

Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure And washed my hands in innocence;

Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocence.

Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;

Did I purify my heart and wash my hands in innocence for nothing?

Verily I have cleansed my heart[ in] vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

I concluded,“ Surely in vain I have kept my motives pure and maintained a pure lifestyle.

Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,

孰為全能之主、事之何為、祈之何益、

主歟、我必洗淨我手、巡繞主之祭臺、

約百云、天主悅納人、與人無益、或作人順從天主亦何所益

近天主、則天主必近爾、爾有罪者當盥手、爾懷二心者當潔心、

答曰、爾嘗言曰、服事天主、實屬徒勞、守其律法、守其律法或作守其所命守者何益之有、因萬有之主愀然度日、愀然度日或作常懷憂悶何益之有、

兄弟乎、我儕既賴耶穌之血、得毅然以入聖所、乃由彼為我儕所開永生之新路、自幔而過者、此幔即其肉體、

我若言、不若忘我所怨、變憂色而作歡容、

主仍必使我陷於溷溝、甚至我衣亦厭我、

即手潔心清、不起妄念、不立偽誓之人、

求天主為我造潔淨之心、為我新作正直之志、
