| 1在上主盛怒的鞭責下，我成了受盡痛苦的人； | 1I am a man who has known calamity from the rod of his wrath; |
| 2他引我走入黑暗，不見光明； | 2he has driven and brought me into darkness, not into the light. |
| 3且終日再三再四，伸手與我為敵； | 3He turns his hand against me alone, all the day long, again and again. |
| 4他使我肌膚枯瘦，折斷我的骨頭； | 4He has worn away my flesh and skin; he has broken all my bones. |
| 5他在我四周築起圍墻，用毒草和痛苦環繞我， | 5He assails me and surrounds me with tribulation and bitterness. |
| 6讓我居住在黑暗之中，好像久已死去的人。 | 6He leaves me to dwell in darkness, like those who have long been dead. |
| 7他用垣墻圍困我，不能逃脫；並且加重我的桎梏； | 7He has walled me in without escape; he has weighed me down with chains. |
| 8我呼籲求救時，他卻掩耳不聽我的祈禱。 | 8I could not even cry for help, for he has stopped my prayer. |
| 9他用方石堵住了我的去路，阻塞了我的行徑。 | 9He bars my way with stones and left me helplessly alone. |
| 10上主之於我，像是一隻潛伏的狗熊，是一頭藏匿的獅子， | 10Like a bear lying in ambush, like a lion waiting for its prey, |
| 11他把我拖到路旁，撲捉撕裂，加以摧殘； | 11he lunged at me, tore me to pieces, and left me alone and helpless. |
| 12又拉開他的弓，瞄準我，把我當作眾矢之的。 | 12Then he drew his bow and aimed his arrow at me. |
| 13他用箭囊的箭，射穿了我的雙腰； | 13He pierced my sides with arrows from his quiver. |
| 14使我成了萬民的笑柄，終日受他們的嘲笑； | 14I have become a laughingstock, a topic of songs for all the peoples. |
| 15他使我飽食苦菜，醉飲苦酒。 | 15He has sated me with bitter food; he has made me drunk with wormwood. |
| 16他用砂礫破碎我的牙齒，用灰塵給我充饑。 | 16He has broken my teeth with gravel and thrown me down in the ashes. |
| 17他除去了我心中的平安，我已經忘記了一切幸福； | 17He has deprived my soul of peace, till I have forgotten happiness. |
| 18於是我說：「我的光榮已經消逝，對上主的希望也已經幻滅。」 | 18Now I say, "Gone are my hopes and all my confidence in the Lord." |
| 19我回憶着我的困厄和痛苦，盡是茹苦含辛！ | 19Recalling my affliction and homelessness is wormwood and gall. |
| 20我的心越回想，越覺沮喪。 | 20Thinking it over and over makes my soul downcast. |
| 21但是我必要追念這事，以求獲得希望： | 21But this, when I ponder, is what gives me hope: |
| 22上主的慈愛，永無止境；他的仁慈，無窮無盡。 | 22Yahweh's love abides unceasingly. His compassion is never consumed; |
| 23你的仁慈，朝朝常新；你的忠信，浩大無垠！ | 23every morning it is renewed. And his love remains ever faithful. |
| 24我心中知道：上主是我的福分；因此，我必信賴他。 | 24"My portion is Yahweh," says my soul. "On him shall I rely." |
| 25上主對信賴他和尋求他的人，是慈善的。 | 25Yahweh is good to those who hope in him, to souls who search for him. |
| 26最好是靜待上主的救援， | 26It is rewarding to wait in silence for the Lord's salvation. |
| 27人最好是自幼背負上主的重軛， | 27It is good for man to bear the yoke from his youth. |
| 28默然獨坐，因為是上主加於他的軛； | 28Let him sit alone in silence when Yahweh fastens the yoke on him. |
| 29他該把自己的口貼近塵埃，這樣或者還有希望； | 29Let him put his lips to the dust there may still be hope. |
| 30向打他的人，送上面頰，飽受凌辱。 | 30Let him offer his cheek to be struck; let him be overwhelmed with insult. |
| 31因為上主決不會永遠把人遺棄； | 31For it is not forever that the Lord rejects man. |
| 32縱使懲罰，他必按照自己豊厚的慈愛，而加以憐憫。 | 32In the abundance of his love he punishes, but has compassion. |
| 33因為他苛待和懲罰世人，原不是出於他的心願。 | 33For he does not willingly abase or afflict the human race. |
| 34將世上所有的俘虜，都踐踏在腳下， | 34To trample underfoot the prisoners of the land, |
| 35在至上者前剝奪人的權利， | 35to deny a man his rights in the presence of the Most High, |
| 36與人爭訟時，欺壓他人：難道上主看不見？ | 36to deprive people of justice - the Lord does not approve of this. |
| 37若非上主有命，誰能言出即成呢？ | 37Who can command and execute what the Lord has not willed? |
| 38吉凶禍福，難道不是出自至上者之口？ | 38From the mouth of the Most High come all things, good or bad. |
| 39人生在世，為自己的罪受罰，為甚麼還叫苦？ | 39Why should then mortals complain when punished for their sin? |
| 40我們應檢討考察我們的行為，回頭歸向上主！ | 40Let us search and examine our ways and return to the Lord. |
| 41應向天上的大主，雙手奉上我們的心！ | 41Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven, and say: |
| 42正因為我們犯罪背命，你纔沒有寬恕。 | 42"We have sinned and rebelled, and you have not forgiven us. |
| 43你藏在盛怒之中，追擊我們，殺死我們，毫不留情。 | 43Clothed in anger you have pursued us without mercy. |
| 44你隱在濃雲深處，哀禱不能上達。 | 44You have wrapped yourself in clouds so that no prayer can reach you. |
| 45你使我們在萬民中，成了塵垢和廢物。 | 45You have reduced us to dust and refuse among the nations. |
| 46我們所有的仇人，都向我們大張其口。 | 46Our foes have opened wide their mouths against us. |
| 47為我們只有恐怖和陷阱，破壞和滅亡。 | 47Terror is our lot: pitfall, ruin and desolation. |
| 48為了我女兒──人民的滅亡，我的眼淚湧流如江河。 | 48Great is my grief over the downfall of the daughter of my people. |
| 49我的眼淚湧流不止，始終不停， | 49No respite, no relief, as my tears flow ceaselessly, |
| 50直到上主從天垂顧憐視， | 50till the Lord looks down from heaven and sees. |
| 51因我城中的一切女兒，使我觸目傷心。 | 51My soul will grieve in torment for the women of my city. |
| 52我的仇人無故追捕我，像獵取飛鳥一樣； | 52Like a bird I have been hunted by my foes without cause. |
| 53他們將我投入坑穴之中，把石塊擲在我身上； | 53They flung me alive into a pit and cast stones at me. |
| 54水淹沒了我的頭頂，我想：「我要死了！」 | 54As the waters closed over my head, I thought I would never again live. |
| 55上主，我從坑穴深處，呼號你的聖名； | 55Out of the depths I called on your name, O Yahweh. |
| 56你曾俯聽過我的呼聲，對我的哀禱，不要掩耳不聞。 | 56You heard; you have not been deaf to my cry for relief. |
| 57在我呼號你的那一天，願你走近而對我說：「不要害怕！」 | 57When I called, you even came near and told me not to fear. |
| 58上主，你辯護了我的案件，贖回我的性命。 | 58O Lord, you took up my case and redeemed my life. |
| 59上主，你見我遭受冤屈，你替我伸了冤， | 59You have seen the wrong they did me, uphold my cause! |
| 60你看見了他們對我的種種仇恨和陰謀。 | 60You have seen how resentfully they plotted to destroy my life. |
| 61上主，你聽見了他們加於我的種種侮辱和陰謀， | 61O Yahweh, you have heard the insults hurled at me, their insidious plots; |
| 62你也聽見了反對我者的誹謗，和他們終日對我的企圖。 | 62You have been aware of their thoughts, their muttering against me all day long. |
| 63你看！他們或坐或立，我始終是他們嘲笑的對象。 | 63Look at them - sitting or standing - mocking me in their song! |
| 64上主，求你按照他們雙手的作為，報復他們； | 64Repay them as they deserve, according to their deeds, O Yahweh. |
| 65求你使他們的心思頑固，並詛咒他們。 | 65Harden their hearts; hold them under your curse. |
| 66上主，求你憤怒地追擊他們，將他們由普天之下除掉。 | 66Pursue and destroy them in fury from under the heavens, O Yahweh. |
