| 1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn? | 1 Give now a cry for help; is there anyone who will give you an answer? and to which of the holy ones will you make your prayer? | 1 부르짖어 보아라 네게 응답할 자가 있겠느냐 거룩한 자 중에 네가 누구에게로 향하겠느냐 |

| 4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. | 4 Now his children have no safe place, and they are crushed before the judges, for no one takes up their cause. | 4 그 자식들은 평안한데서 멀리 떠나고 성문에서 눌리나 구하는 자가 없으며 |
| 5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. | 5 Their produce is taken by him who has no food, and their grain goes to the poor, and he who is in need of water gets it from their spring. | 5 그 추수한 것은 주린 자가 먹되 가시나무 가운데 있는 것도 빼앗으며 올무가 그의 재산을 향하여 입을 벌리느니라 |
| 6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; | 6 For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth; | 6 재앙은 티끌에서 일어나는 것이 아니요 고난은 흙에서 나는 것이 아니라 |
| 7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks ㆍ fly upward. | 7 But trouble is man's fate from birth, as the flames go up from the fire. | 7 인생은 고난을 위하여 났나니 불티가 위로 날음 같으니라 |
| 8 I would seek ㆍ unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: | 8 But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him: | 8 나 같으면 하나님께 구하고 내 일을 하나님께 의탁하리라 |
| 9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable ㆍ; marvellous things without number: | 9 Who does great things outside our knowledge, wonders without number: | 9 하나님은 크고 측량할 수 없는 일을 행하시며 기이한 일을 셀 수 없이 행하시나니 |
| 10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: | 10 Who gives rain on the earth, and sends water on the fields: | 10 비를 땅에 내리시고 물을 밭에 보내시며 |
| 11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. | 11 Lifting up those who are low, and putting the sad in a safe place; | 11 낮은 자를 높이 드시고 슬퍼하는 자를 흥기시켜 안전한 곳에 있게 하시느니라 |
| 12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. | 12 Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes. | 12 하나님은 궤휼한 자의 계교를 파하사 그 손으로 하는 일을 이루지 못하게 하시며 |

| 14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. | 14 In the daytime it becomes dark for them, and in the sunlight they go feeling about as if it was night. | 14 그들은 낮에도 캄캄함을 만나고 대낮에도 더듬기를 밤과 같이 하느니라 |
| 15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. | 15 But he keeps safe from their sword those who have no father, and the poor from the power of the strong. | 15 하나님은 곤비한 자를 그들의 입의 칼에서, 강한 자의 손에서 면하게 하시나니 |
| 16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. | 16 So the poor man has hope, and the mouth of the evil-doer is stopped. | 16 그러므로 가난한 자가 소망이 있고 불의가 스스로 입을 막느니라 |
| 17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: | 17 Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all. | 17 볼찌어다 하나님께 징계받는 자에게는 복이 있나니 그런즉 너는 전능자의 경책을 업신여기지 말찌니라 |

| 23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. | 23 For you will be in agreement with the stones of the earth, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you. | 23 밭에 돌이 너와 언약을 맺겠고 들짐승이 너와 화친할 것임이라 |
| 24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. | 24 And you will be certain that your tent is at peace, and after looking over your property you will see that nothing is gone. | 24 네가 네 장막의 평안함을 알고 네 우리를 살펴도 잃은 것이 없을 것이며 |

| 26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. | 26 You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time. | 26 네가 장수하다가 무덤에 이르리니 곡식단이 그 기한에 운반되어 올리움 같으리라 |
| 27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good. | 27 See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself. | 27 볼찌어다 우리의 연구한 바가 이같으니 너는 듣고 네게 유익된 줄 알찌니라 |
