10:1 我厌烦我的性命，必由着自己述说我的哀情。因心里苦恼，我要说话。
My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
10:2 对神说，不要定我有罪。要指示我，你为何与我争辩。
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
10:3 你手所造的，你又欺压，又藐视，却光照恶人的计谋。这事你以为美吗。
Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
10:4 你的眼岂是肉眼，你查看岂像人查看吗。
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
10:5 你的日子岂像人的日子，你的年岁岂像人的年岁。
Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
10:6 就追问我的罪孽，寻察我的罪过吗。
That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
10:7 其实，你知道我没有罪恶，并没有能救我脱离你手的。
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
10:8 你的手创造我，造就我的四肢百体，你还要毁灭我。
Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
10:9 求你记念制造我如抟泥一般，你还要使我归于麈土吗。
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10:10 你不是倒出我来好像奶，使我凝结如同奶饼吗。
Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
10:11 你以皮和肉为衣给我穿上，用骨与筋把我全体联络。
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
10:12 你将生命和慈爱赐给我，你也眷顾保全我的心灵。
Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
10:13 然而，你待我的这些事早已藏在你心里，我知道你久有此意。
And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
10:14 我若犯罪，你就察看我，并不赦免我的罪孽。
If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
10:15 我若行恶，便有了祸。我若为义，也不敢抬头。正是满心羞愧，眼见我的苦情。
If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
10:16 我若昂首自得，你就追捕我如狮子，又在我身上显出奇能。
For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
10:17 你重立见证攻击我，向我加增恼怒，如军兵更换着攻击我。
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
10:18 你为何使我出母胎呢。不如我当时气绝，无人得见我。
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
10:19 这样，就如没有我一般，一出母胎就被送入坟墓。
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
10:20 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，
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
10:21 就是往黑暗，和死荫之地以先，可以稍得畅快。
Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
10:22 那地甚是幽暗，是死荫混沌之地。那里的光好像幽暗。
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
