2. 祂驱赶我，使我行在黑暗中，不行在光明里。 He has driven me and brought me Into darkness and not light.
3. 祂真是终日再三反手攻击我。 Surely against me He has turned His hand Again and again all the day.

8. 我哀号求救时，祂塞闭不听我的祷告。 Indeed, when I cry out and call for help, He shuts out my prayer.
9. 祂用凿过的石头，筑墙挡住我的道路；祂使我的路径弯曲。 He has walled in my ways with hewn stone; He has made my paths crooked.
10. 祂向我如熊埋伏，如狮子在隐密处。 He is to me like a bear lying in wait, Like a lion in hidden places.

15. 祂使苦楚充满我，使我喝足茵蔯。 He has filled me with bitterness; He has made me drunk with wormwood.
16. 祂又用沙石碜断我的牙，用灰尘将我蒙盖。 He has also crushed my teeth with gravel; He has covered me with ashes.
17. 你使我的魂远离平安；我忘记了好处。 And You have removed my soul far from peace; I have forgotten prosperity.
18. 我就说，我的力量衰败，我在耶和华那里，毫无指望。 And I said, My strength has perished As well as my hope in Jehovah.

21. 我的心回想这事，我就有指望。 This I recall to my heart; Therefore I have hope.
22. 我们不至消灭，是出于耶和华的慈爱，因祂的怜恤不至断绝； It is Jehovah's lovingkindness that we are not consumed, For His compassions do not fail;
23. 每早晨这些都是新的；你的信实，极其广大。 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
24. 我的魂说，耶和华是我的分；因此，我要仰望祂。 Jehovah is my portion, says my soul; Therefore I hope in Him.

31. 因为主必不永远丢弃人。 For the Lord will not Cast off forever.
32. 主虽使人忧愁，还要照祂诸般的慈爱发怜恤。 But even if He causes grief, He will have compassion According to the multitude of His lovingkindness;
33. 因为祂并不存心使人受苦，使世人忧愁。 For He does not afflict willingly Or grieve the children of men.
34. 人将地上一切被囚的，都压在脚下， The crushing under his foot Of all the prisoners of the earth,
35. 在至高者面前屈枉人， The turning aside of the justice due a man Before the face of the Most High,

54. 水流过我的头；我说，我被剪除了。 Water streamed over my head; I said, I have been cut off.
55. 耶和华阿，我从极深的坑里呼求你的名。 I called upon Your name, O Jehovah, From the lowest pit.
56. 你曾听见我的声音；求你不要掩耳不听我的呼吸，我的呼吁。 You have heard my voice; do not hide Your ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57. 我呼求你的日子，你临近我，说，不要惧怕。 You drew near in the day that I called upon You; You said, Do not fear.
58. 主阿，你伸明了我魂里的冤；你救赎了我的命。 Lord, You have pleaded my soul's case; You have redeemed my life.
59. 耶和华阿，你见了我受的委屈；求你为我伸冤。 You have seen, O Jehovah, my oppression; Judge my cause.
60. 他们向我报仇，设谋害我，你都看见了。 You have seen all their vengeance, All their plans, against me.
61. 耶和华阿，你听见他们辱骂我的话，知道他们向我所设的一切计谋， You have heard their reproach, O Jehovah, All their plans against me,
62. 并那些起来攻击我的人口中所说的话，以及终日所默想害我的计谋。 The lips of those who rise up against me And their meditation against me all the day.
63. 求你观看：他们坐下、起来；我成了他们嘲笑的歌曲。 Look upon their sitting down and their rising up; I am their mocking song.
64. 耶和华阿，你要按着他们手所作的，向他们施行报应。 You will render to them a recompense, O Jehovah, According to the work of their hands.
65. 你要使他们的心刚硬，使你的咒诅临到他们。 You will give them hardness of heart; Your curse be upon them.
66. 你要在怒中追赶他们，从耶和华的天下除灭他们。 You will pursue them in anger and will destroy them From under the heavens of Jehovah.
