¹Mu vaim on murtud, mu päevad on kustutatud, mind ootavad hauad.

¹“My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct, And the grave is ready for me.

²Tõesti, pilked on mu osa, ja nende tõrksusest on mu silm väsinud.

²Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.

³Pane ometi minu heaks pant tallele enese juurde! Kes muidu mu kasuks kätt lööks?

³“Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?

⁴Et sa oled nende südamed arusaamisest võõrutanud, siis sa ei ülenda neid.

⁴For you have hidden their heart from understanding, Therefore you shall not exalt them.

⁵Kes kutsub sõbrad jagamisele, selle lastel tuhmuvad silmad.

⁵He who denounces his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

⁶Mind on antud inimestele sõnakõlksuks ja ma olen pealesülitamiseks nende ees.

⁶“But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.

⁷Mu silm on kurbusest tuhm ja kõik mu liikmed on otsekui varjud.

⁷My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.

⁸Õiglased ehmuvad sellest ja süütu ärritub jumalavallatute pärast.

⁸Upright men shall be astonished at this. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

⁹Aga õige püsib oma teel, ja kellel on puhtad käed, kasvab tugevuses.

⁹Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.

¹⁰Te kõik aga võite tulla taas, tarka ma teie hulgast ei leia.

¹⁰But as for you all, come on now again; I shall not find a wise man among you.

¹¹Mu päevad on möödunud, katki kistud on mu kavatsused, mu südame soovid.

¹¹My days are past, my plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.

¹²Need tegid öö päevaks: valgus oli lähemal kui pimedus.

¹²They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.

¹³Kui ma veel võin loota, siis on surmavald mu koda, ma laotan oma aseme pimedusse.

¹³If I look for Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,

¹⁴Ma hüüan hauale: 'Sa oled mu isa!' ja ussikestele: 'Mu ema ja õde!'

¹⁴If I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’ to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘my sister;’

¹⁵Kus on siis mu lootus, ja kes saaks mu lootust näha?

¹⁵where then is my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

¹⁶Minuga astud sa alla surmavalda, kui üheskoos põrmu vajume.'

¹⁶Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , or descend together into the dust?”
