我壽幾何、請爾舍余、庶可少息我力、

我的日子不是甚少吗？求你停手宽容我，叫我在往而不返之先，就是往黑暗和死荫之地以先，可以稍得畅快。

我的日子不是短少吗？求你停止，求你放过我，使我可以稍得喜乐，

我的日子不是短少吗？求你停止，求你放过我，使我可以稍得喜乐，

我的年日不多，求你放过我，让我欢乐片刻。

我的日子不是很少吗？请住手，转离我，使我在往黑暗死荫之地以先，

我的日子不是甚少嗎？求你停手寬容我，叫我在往而不返之先－就是往黑暗和死蔭之地以先－可以稍得暢快。

我的日子不是短少嗎？求你停止，求你放過我，使我可以稍得喜樂，

我的日子不是短少嗎？求你停止，求你放過我，使我可以稍得喜樂，

我的年日不多，求你放過我，讓我歡樂片刻。

我的日子不是很少嗎？請住手，轉離我，使我在往黑暗死蔭之地以先，

我一生的日子不是很少麼？停手哦；放寬我吧，使我稍有喜色，

我日非幾希乎、請爾止而舍我、俾我稍得慰藉、

主歟、我壽幾何、求主姑寛我、略舍我、

Are not my few days almost over? Turn away from me so I can have a moment’s joy

Aren’t my few days almost over? Leave me so I can have a moment of joy.

Are not my days few? Then cease, and leave me alone, that I may find a little cheer

I have only a few days left, so leave me alone, that I may have a moment of comfort

Are my days not few? Stop it! Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little

Would He not leave my few days alone? Withdraw from me so that I may have a little cheerfulness

Are not my days few? Cease! Leave me alone, that I may take a little comfort,

Are not my days few? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

Are my days not few? Stop it! Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little

[ Are] not my days few? cease[ then, and] let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

Are not my days few? Cease, then, and leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,

Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,

人乃婦女誕育、既不永年、且多憂慮。

請爾舍予、庶可少息我力、然後長往不返兮。

予之生命、廣約一掌、自爾視之、一若無物、人雖完體、實則氣而已。

日月逝矣、速於郵傳、流光已邁、我未見福之至也。日去如扁舟、勢若巨鷹之摶擊。

日月如梭、終身無希望矣。命在呼吸、不復獲福、爾其垂念。

已無樂生之心、不作永存之想、畢生遘難、毋寧舍子為幸。且人在世、亦甚渺耳、何為加意眷顧之、責之無間日、試之無已時。爾而舍我、將至何時、曷不假我以嚥津之頃。爾為上主、鑒察人心、即我犯罪、何虧於爾、曷擊我、使我不樂其生。盍赦我罪、宥我惡、俾我安然入土、迄於明日、欲追予而不相遇。

人之生也、譬彼草萊、欣欣以向榮兮、疾風一吹、立見凋枯、無從覓跡兮、
