| 1 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. | 1 My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me. | 1 나의 기운이 쇠하였으며 나의 날이 다 하였고 무덤이 나를 위하여 예비되었구나 |
| 2 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation? | 2 Truly, those who make sport of me are round about me, and my eyes become dark because of their bitter laughing. | 2 나를 조롱하는 자들이 오히려 나와 함께 있으므로 내 눈이 그들의 격동함을 항상 보는구나 |
| 3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me? | 3 Be pleased, now, to be responsible for me to yourself; for there is no other who will put his hand in mine. | 3 청컨대 보증물을 주시고 친히 나의 보주가 되옵소서 주 외에 나로 더불어 손을 칠 자가 누구리이까 |
| 4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them. | 4 You have kept their hearts from wisdom: for this cause you will not give them honour. | 4 주께서 그들의 마음을 가리워 깨닫지 못하게 하셨사오니 그들을 높이지 아니하시리이다 |
| 5 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. | 5 As for him who is false to his friend for a reward, light will be cut off from the eyes of his children. | 5 친구를 지적하여 해를 받게 한 자의 자식들은 눈이 멀찌니라 |
| 6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. | 6 He has made me a word of shame to the peoples; I have become a mark for their sport. | 6 하나님이 나로 백성의 이야기거리가 되게 하시니 그들이 내 얼굴에 침을 뱉는구나 |
| 7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. | 7 My eyes have become dark because of my pain, and all my body is wasted to a shade. | 7 내 눈은 근심으로 하여 어두워지고 나의 온 지체는 그림자 같구나 |
| 8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. | 8 The upright are surprised at this, and he who has done no wrong is troubled because of the evil-doers. | 8 정직자는 이를 인하여 놀라고 무죄자는 사곡한 자를 인하여 분을 내나니 |
| 9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. | 9 Still the upright keeps on his way, and he who has clean hands gets new strength. | 9 그러므로 의인은 그 길을 독실히 행하고 손이 깨끗한 자는 점점 힘을 얻느니라 |
| 10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you. | 10 But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you. | 10 너희는 다 다시 올찌니라 내가 너희 중에서 지혜자를 찾을 수 없느니라 |
| 11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. | 11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the desires of my heart. | 11 나의 날이 지나갔고 내 경영, 내 마음의 사모하는바가 다 끊어졌구나 |
| 12 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. | 12 They are changing night into day; they say, The light is near the dark. | 12 그들은 밤으로 낮을 삼고 빛이 어두운데 가깝다 하는구나 |
| 13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. | 13 If I am waiting for the underworld as my house, if I have made my bed in the dark; | 13 내 소망이 음부로 내 집을 삼음에 있어서 침상을 흑암에 베풀고 |
| 14 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister. | 14 If I say to the earth, You are my father; and to the worm, My mother and my sister; | 14 무덤더러 너는 내 아비라, 구더기더러 너는 내 어미, 내 자매라 할찐대 |
| 15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? | 15 Where then is my hope? and who will see my desire? | 15 나의 소망이 어디 있으며 나의 소망을 누가 보겠느냐 |
| 16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust. | 16 Will they go down with me into the underworld? Will we go down together into the dust? | 16 흙 속에서 쉴 때에는 소망이 음부 문으로 내려갈 뿐이니라 |
