『我被害流血、下於冥坑、有甚麼益處？塵土還能稱讚你，還能宣說你的可信可靠麼？

“我被害流血，下到坑中，有什么益处呢？尘土岂能称赞你，传说你的诚实吗？

“我被害流血，下到地府，有何益处呢？尘土岂能称谢你、传扬你的信实吗？

“我被害流血，下到地府，有何益处呢？尘土岂能称谢你、传扬你的信实吗？

“耶和华啊，我被毁灭、落入坟墓有何益处？我归于尘土，还能赞美你、宣扬你的信实吗？

“我被害流血，下到深坑，有什么益处呢？尘土还能称赞你，还能传扬你的信实吗？

“我死亡下到阴坑，有什么好处呢？难道尘土会称谢你，宣告你的信实吗？

我被害流血，下到坑中，有甚麼益處呢？塵土豈能稱讚你，傳說你的誠實嗎？

「我被害流血，下到地府，有何益處呢？塵土豈能稱謝你、傳揚你的信實嗎？

「我被害流血，下到地府，有何益處呢？塵土豈能稱謝你、傳揚你的信實嗎？

「耶和華啊，我被毀滅、落入墳墓有何益處？我歸於塵土，還能讚美你、宣揚你的信實嗎？

“我被害流血，下到深坑，有甚麼益處呢？塵土還能稱讚你，還能傳揚你的信實嗎？

「我死亡下到陰坑，有什麼好處呢？難道塵土會稱謝你，宣告你的信實嗎？

流我之血、使我就墓、何益之有、塵土安能頌爾、安能宣爾誠實兮、

予也被殺歸墓、何益之有、一坯之土、安能頌爾名、稱爾道兮、

曰、使我死亡、使我入墓、有何裨益、塵土豈能讚美主、述說主之誠實、

哀哀求主。聽我仰訴。

“ What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?

I said,“ What good will come if I become silent in death? What good will come if I go down into the grave? Can the dust of my dead body praise you? Can it tell how faithful you are?

“ What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?

“ What will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you? Can it tell of your faithfulness?

“ What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your truth?

“ What gain is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

“ What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

“ What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your truth?

What profit[ is there] in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

“ What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty?

“ What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

因為在死地無人記念着你；在陰間有誰稱謝你？

死人不能頌讚永恆主；下於寂滅中的、不能讚美主。但我們呢、要祝頌永恆主，從今時直到永遠。哈利路亞！

因為陰間並不能稱謝你，死亡不能頌讚你，下陰坑的人不能仰望你的忠信。

我必不至於死；我仍要活着，來敘說永恆主的作為。

你哪能行奇事給死人看呢？難道陰魂還能起來稱讚你麼？（細拉）你的堅愛是宣揚於墳墓裏麼？你的可信可靠能被敘說於滅亡處麼？你的奇妙哪能被知道於黑暗裏，你的義氣哪能被記念於萬事消忘之地呢？

凡你的手見得可作的事、你總要盡力去作；因為在你所要去的陰間、那裏沒有工作，沒有設計，沒有知識，也沒有智慧。
