| 1全能者為何不劃定一個期限呢？忠於他的人為何看不到他的日子？ | 1Why is what happens hidden from God? Why do his faithful never see his justice? |
| 2惡人挪移地界，搶去羊群自去牧放； | 2The wicked remove landmarks and steal both flocks and shepherds. |
| 3趕走孤兒的驢，拿去寡婦的牛作抵押； | 3They seize the orphan's ass and for a pledge take the widow's ox. |
| 4迫使窮人離開正路，使境內的貧民隱藏不露。 | 4The needy stay far from the road, the poor go into hiding. |
| 5看啊！他們像曠野的野驢，出來尋覓食物；他們縱使到晚操作，卻找不到養子女的食物。 | 5Like wild asses in the wasteland, they look for food; the poor toil in the night, there is no food for their children! |
| 6夜間遂到田間去收割，到惡人的葡萄園中去摘取。 | 6They gather fodder in the fields, work in the vineyards of the wicked. |
| 7赤身過宿，無衣蔽體；嚴寒之時，沒有舖蓋。 | 7Destitute, they lie down naked, shivering in the freezing cold. |
| 8在山中為暴雨淋透，因無處避身，而臥於磐石下。 | 8Drenched with mountain rains, they hug the rocks for lack of shelter. |
| 9另有些人將孤兒從母懷中搶去，剝去窮人的衣服作抵押， | 9The fatherless child is snatched from the breast, the infant of the poor seized for a debt. |
| 10致使他們無衣赤身行走，枵腹擔荷麥捆； | 10Without clothes, they go naked, starving as they carry the sheaves. |
| 11在石槽中搾油、踐踏，反受口渴之苦。 | 11Between the millstones they crush olives; they tread the winepress but suffer thirst. |
| 12臨死者的呻吟，聲聞城外；負傷者呼求救援，天主卻不理會他們的哀求。 | 12In the city the dying groan, and the wounded cry out for help but God pays no attention. |
| 13另有些人反抗光明，不認識光明的道路，更不走光明的途徑。 | 13Many rebel against the light, they do not know its way or stay in its path. |
| 14兇手黎明即起，去殺害困苦和貧窮的人，夜間去作盜賊。 | 14When dawn breaks, the murderer rises to kill the poor and the helpless. |
| 15姦夫的眼盼望黃昏，他心裏說：「沒有眼可看見我！」就將自己的臉遮蔽起來。 | 15The adulterer waits for dusk, thinking that no eye watches him. At night the thief walks about and puts a mask over his face, |
| 16竊賊夜間挖穿屋墻，白日將自己關起，不願看見光明， | 16ready to break into the houses that he chose during the day. |
| 17因為早晨對這班人有如死影，他們已熟悉了黑暗的恐怖。 | 17Morning is their darkest hour the time for them to fear. |
| 25是否如此？誰能證明我說謊，誰能以我的話為荒誕？ | 18The wicked are foam on the face of the waters; their portion of the land is cursed, and no one goes to their vineyards. |
| 19 | 19As drought and heat snap up the thawed snow, so Sheol swallows up the sinner, |
| 20 | 20and the womb which formed him, forgets him. Evil men are no longer remembered, like a fallen tree they are broken. |
| 21 | 21They preyed on the barren, childless woman, and showed no kindness to the widow. |
| 22 | 22But the Powerful stands against them and drags away the mighty. |
| 23 | 23He may let them feel secure, but his eyes are upon their ways. |
| 24 | 24They are momentarily exalted, and then gone; they wither and fade like a weed. They are cut off like heads of grain. |
| 25 | 25If this is not so, who can prove me wrong and reduce my words to nothing? |
