“我虽说话，忧愁仍不得消解；我虽停住不说，忧愁就离开我吗？

“我若说话，痛苦仍不得缓解；我若停止，痛苦就离开我吗？

“我若说话，痛苦仍不得缓解；我若停止，痛苦就离开我吗？

“我若申辩，痛苦不减；我若缄默，痛苦犹在。

我若说话，痛苦仍不消解，我若闭口不说，痛苦也不离开我。

我雖說話，憂愁仍不得消解；我雖停住不說，憂愁就離開我嗎？

「我若說話，痛苦仍不得緩解；我若停止，痛苦就離開我嗎？

「我若說話，痛苦仍不得緩解；我若停止，痛苦就離開我嗎？

「我若申辯，痛苦不減；我若緘默，痛苦猶在。

我若說話，痛苦仍不消解，我若閉口不說，痛苦也不離開我。

『就使我說話，痛傷仍然不得制止；就使我自忍不說，多少傷痛會離開我呢？

我雖言之、我憂不解、我若不言、我憂其離我乎、

今我言、不得自解其憂、不言、不得自釋其悶。

我若發言、我苦猶不得解、我若緘默、我苦豈離於我、

“ Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I refrain, it does not go away.

“ If I speak, it doesn’t help me. And if I keep quiet, my pain doesn’t go away.

“ If I speak, my pain is not assuaged, and if I forbear, how much of it leaves me?

“ Though I speak, my grief is not relieved; And if I remain silent, how am I eased?

“ But if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain from speaking– how much of it goes away?

“ Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?

我自幼受苦，几乎死亡；我受你的惊恐，甚至慌张。你的烈怒漫过我身；你的惊吓把我剪除。这些终日如水环绕我，一齐都来围困我。你把我的良朋密友隔在远处，使我所认识的人进入黑暗里。

“我厌烦我的性命，必由着自己述说我的哀情；因心里苦恼，我要说话，

我要向神发声呼求；我向神发声，他必留心听我。我在患难之日寻求主；我在夜间不住地举手祷告；我的心不肯受安慰。我想念神，就烦燥不安；我沉吟悲伤，心便发昏。细拉你叫我不能闭眼；我烦乱不安，甚至不能说话。我追想古时之日，上古之年。我想起我夜间的歌曲，扪心自问；我心里也仔细省察。难道主要永远丢弃我，不再施恩吗？难道他的慈爱永远穷尽，他的应许世世废弃吗？难道神忘记开恩，因发怒就止住他的慈悲吗？细拉
