“I said: In the middle of my days, I will go to the gates of Hell. So I sought the remainder of my years.

Yo dije: En el medio de mis días iré á las puertas del sepulcro: privado soy del resto de mis años.

I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years.”

I said: I will not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I will no longer behold man, nor the habitation of rest.

Dije: No veré á JAH, á JAH en la tierra de los que viven: ya no veré más hombre con los moradores del mundo.

My longevity has been taken away; it has been folded up and taken from me, like the tent of a shepherd. My life has been cut off, as if by a weaver. While I was still beginning, he cut me off. From morning until evening, you have marked out my limits.

Mi morada ha sido movida y traspasada de mí, como tienda de pastor. Como el tejedor corté mi vida; cortaráme con la enfermedad; me consumirás entre el día y la noche.

Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

I hoped, even until morning. Like a lion, so has he crushed all my bones. From morning until evening, you have marked my limits.

Contaba yo hasta la mañana. Como un león molió todos mis huesos: de la mañana á la noche me acabarás.

I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

I will cry out, like a young swallow. I will meditate, like a dove. My eyes have been weakened by gazing upward. O Lord, I suffer violence! Answer in my favor.

Como la grulla y como la golondrina me quejaba; gemía como la paloma: alzaba en alto mis ojos: Jehová, violencia padezco; confórtame.

Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”

What can I say, or what would he answer me, since he himself has done this? I will acknowledge to you all my years, in the bitterness of my soul.

¿Qué diré? El que me lo dijo, él mismo lo ha hecho. Andaré recapacitando en la amargura de mi alma todos los años de mi vida.

What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

O Lord, if such is life, and if the life of my spirit is of such a kind, may you correct me and may you cause me to live.

Oh Señor, sobre ellos vivirán tus piedades, y á todos diré consistir en ellas la vida de mi espíritu; pues tú me restablecerás, y me harás que viva.

O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.

Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them. You restore me, and cause me to live.

Behold, in peace my bitterness is most bitter. But you have rescued my soul, so that it would not perish. You have cast all my sins behind your back.

He aquí amargura grande me sobrevino en la paz: mas á ti plugo librar mi vida del hoyo de corrupción: porque echaste tras tus espaldas todos mis pecados.

Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

For Hell will not confess to you, and death will not praise you. Those who descend into the pit will not hope for your truth.

Porque el sepulcro no te celebrará, ni te alabará la muerte; ni los que descienden al hoyo esperarán tu verdad.

For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.

The living, the living, these will give praise to you, as I also do this day! The father will make the truth known to the sons.

El que vive, el que vive, éste te confesará, como yo hoy: el padre hará notoria tu verdad á los hijos.

The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

Jehová para salvarme; por tanto cantaremos nuestros salmos en la casa de Jehová todos los días de nuestra vida.
