My spirit is broken; / My days are extinct; / The graveyard is ready for me.
我的灵销毁，我的日子灭尽，坟墓为我预备好了。

Surely there are mockers with me, / And my eye lingers on their provocation.
真有戏笑我的在我这里，我眼常见他们惹动我。

Lay down now a pledge for me with Yourself; / Who is he who will strike hands with me?
愿你给我凭质，在你那里为我作保；除你以外谁肯为我担保呢？

For You have hidden their heart from insight; / Therefore You will not exalt them.
因你使他们心无见识；所以你必不高举他们。

He who denounces his friends for a share of the profit taken, / Even the eyes of his children will fail.
那为分得利益告发朋友的，连他儿女的眼睛也要失明。

But He has made me a byword of the people, / And I have become one on whom they may spit.
但神使我作了民中的笑谈，我也成了他们吐唾沫在脸上的人。

And my eye has grown dim because of the sorrow, / And my members are all like a shadow.
我的眼睛因忧愁昏花，我的百体好像影儿。

The upright are appalled at this, / And the innocent stir themselves up against the profane man.
正直人因此惊讶，无辜的人兴起攻击不虔敬之辈。

Yet the righteous man will hold fast to his way, / And he whose hands are clean will wax yet stronger.
然而义人要持守他的道路，手洁的人要越发有力量。

But all of you, come back now, / And I will not find a wise man among you.
至于你们众人，可以回来，我在你们中间找不着一个智慧人。

My days have passed; broken are my plans, / The cherished thoughts of my heart.
我的日子已经过了；我的计划，我心所想望的，已经断绝。

They change night into day; / The light is near, they say in the face of darkness.
他们以黑夜为白昼；面对黑暗却说，亮光近了。

If I wait for Sheol as my house; / If I spread my couch in the darkness;
我若盼望阴间为我的房屋；若下榻在黑暗中；

If I call out to the pit, You are my father; / You are my mother and my sister, to the worm;
若对墓坑呼叫说，你是我的父亲；对虫呼叫说，你是我的母亲、姊妹；

Where then is my hope? / Indeed, my hope, who will see it?
这样，我的指望在哪里呢？我所指望的，谁能看见呢？

It will go down to the bars of Sheol, / When, at the same time, we have rest in the dust.
这指望必下到阴间的门闩那里，那时我们已经安息在尘土中。
