I tried to understand it all. But it was more than I could handle.

我思索怎能明白这事，眼看实系为难，

我思索要明白这事，眼看实系为难，

我思索要明白这事，眼看实系为难，

我想明白这一切，却百思不得其解。

我思想要明白这事，我就看为烦恼；

我思想，要明白这事，这在我眼中实在困惑；

我思索怎能明白這事，眼看實係為難，

我思索要明白這事，眼看實係為難，

我思索要明白這事，眼看實係為難，

我想明白這一切，卻百思不得其解。

我思想要明白這事，我就看為煩惱；

我直思索着要明白這事，看來實在為難；

我思想，要明白這事，這在我眼中實在困惑；

我思此事、而欲悉之、視為極苦兮、

然念斯理、殊難解兮。

若欲自明此理、我目中見為甚難、

欲探箇中理。枯腸費搜索。

When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply

But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task,

So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper. But what a difficult task it is!

When I tried to understand all this, it seemed hopeless

When I thought of understanding this, It was troublesome in my sight

When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me—

When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;

When I tried to understand all this, it seemed hopeless

When I thought to know this, it[ was] too painful for me;

When I tried to make sense of this, it was troubling to me.

When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me,

I saw everything God has done. No one can understand what happens on earth. People might try very hard to figure it out. But they still can’t discover what it all means. Wise people might claim they know. But they can’t really understand it either.

How very rich are God’s wisdom and knowledge! How he judges is more than we can understand! The way he deals with people is more than we can know!

He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will make fun of him. They will laugh at him and spit on him.They will whip him and kill him. On the third day, he will rise from the dead!”The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them. So they didn’t know what Jesus was talking about.

They kept asking,“ What does he mean by‘ a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about these things. So he said to them,“ Are you asking one another what I meant? Didn’t you understand when I said,‘ In a little while, you will no longer see me. Then after a little while, you will see me’?

People are only shadows as they go here and there. They rush around, but it doesn’t mean anything. They pile up wealth, but they don’t know who will finally get it.

Clouds and thick darkness surround him. His rule is built on what is right and fair.

Your holiness is as great as the height of the highest mountains. You are as honest as the oceans are deep. Lord, you keep people and animals safe.

Your path led through the Red Sea. You walked through the mighty waters. But your footprints were not seen.

Surely I am only a dumb animal and not a man. I don’t understand as other men do.I haven’t learned wisdom. And I don’t know the things the Holy One knows.
