我的日子比梭更快，都消耗在无指望之中。
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
求你想念我，我的生命不过是一口气。我的眼睛必不再见福乐。
O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
云彩消散而过。照样，人下阴间也不再上来。
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
我对神说，我岂是洋海，岂是大鱼，你竟防守我呢。
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
若说，我的床必安慰我，我的榻必解释我的苦情。
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
你就用梦惊骇我，用异象恐吓我。
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
我厌弃性命，不愿永活。你任凭我吧，因我的日子都是虚空。
I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
为何不赦免我的过犯，除掉我的罪孽。我现今要躺卧在尘土中。你要殷勤地寻梢我，我却不在了。
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
耶和华我的神阿，我若行了这事，若有罪孽在我手里，
O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
我若以恶报那与我交好的人，连那无故与我为敌的，我也救了他，
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
