天主冤我、或作天主不為我伸冤全能之主苦我心、我指其永生而誓、

“ As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter,

“ God hasn’t treated me fairly. The Mighty One has made my life bitter. You can be sure that God lives. And here’s something else you can be sure of.

“ As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

As God lives, who has deprived me of justice, and the Almighty who has made me bitter,

“ As God lives, who has taken away my right, And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul,

“ As God lives, who has taken away my justice, And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

As God liveth, who hath taken away my right, And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul

As God lives, who has deprived me of justice, and the Almighty who has made me bitter,

[ As] God liveth,[ who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty,[ who] hath vexed my soul;

“ As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter–

“ As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter

For Job also said,‘ I am innocent, but God has taken away my rights.

But when she came to the man of God at the mountain, she fell to the ground before him and caught hold of his feet. Gehazi began to push her away, but the man of God said,“ Leave her alone. She is deeply troubled, but the Lord has not told me what it is.”

But as surely as I live, and as surely as the earth is filled with the Lord’s glory,

O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights?

Then Joab said,“ God only knows what would have happened if you hadn’t spoken, for we would have chased you all night if necessary.”

Now Elijah, who was from Tishbe in Gilead, told King Ahab,“ As surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives— the God I serve— there will be no dew or rain during the next few years until I give the word!”

But the people broke in and said to Saul,“ Jonathan has won this great victory for Israel. Should he die? Far from it! As surely as the Lord lives, not one hair on his head will be touched, for God helped him do a great deed today.” So the people rescued Jonathan, and he was not put to death.

Stay here tonight, and in the morning I will talk to him. If he is willing to redeem you, very well. Let him marry you. But if he is not willing, then as surely as the Lord lives, I will redeem you myself! Now lie down here until morning.”

But Elijah said,“ I swear by the Lord Almighty, in whose presence I stand, that I will present myself to Ahab this very day.”

For I swear by the Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept me from hurting you, that if you had not hurried out to meet me, not one of Nabal’s men would still be alive tomorrow morning.”

As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die?

“ Don’t call me Naomi,” she responded.“ Instead, call me Mara, for the Almighty has made life very bitter for me.I went away full, but the Lord has brought me home empty. Why call me Naomi when the Lord has caused me to suffer and the Almighty has sent such tragedy upon me?”

But even when they are under oath, saying,‘ As surely as the Lord lives,’ they are still telling lies!”

“ Now, my lord, as surely as the Lord lives and you yourself live, since the Lord has kept you from murdering and taking vengeance into your own hands, let all your enemies and those who try to harm you be as cursed as Nabal is.

Then when you swear by my name, saying,‘ As surely as the Lord lives,’ you could do so with truth, justice, and righteousness. Then you would be a blessing to the nations of the world, and all people would come and praise my name.”

He will not let me catch my breath, but fills me instead with bitter sorrows.

What do you gain by oppressing me? Why do you reject me, the work of your own hands, while smiling on the schemes of the wicked?

I vow by the name of the Lord who rescued Israel that the sinner will surely die, even if it is my own son Jonathan!” But no one would tell him what the trouble was.

And if these nations truly learn the ways of my people, and if they learn to swear by my name, saying,‘ As surely as the Lord lives’( just as they taught my people to swear by the name of Baal), then they will be given a place among my people.

Then I will send a boy to bring the arrows back. If you hear me tell him,‘ They’re on this side,’ then you will know, as surely as the Lord lives, that all is well, and there is no trouble.
