Over his day, have they been astounded who come behind, and, them who are in advance, a shudder hath seized.

Know, then, that, God, hath overthrown me, and, within his net, enclosed me.

My way, hath he walled up, that I cannot pass, and, upon my paths, hath he made darkness rest;

My glory - from off me, hath he stripped, and hath removed the crown of my head;

He hath ruined me on every side, and I am gone, and he hath taken away - like a tree - my hope;

Yea he hath kindled against me his anger, and accounted me towards him like unto his adversaries;

My Brethren - from beside me, hath he moved far away, and, mine acquaintance, are wholly estranged from me;

Pity me! pity me! ye, my friends, for, the hand of GOD, hath stricken me!

The eye that hath scanned him, shall not do it again, neither, any more, shall his place behold him:

Wealth, hath he swallowed, and hath vomited the same, Out of his belly, shall, GOD, drive it forth:

For he hath oppressed - hath forsaken the poor, A house, hath he seized, which he cannot rebuild.

Surely he hath known no peace in his inmost mind, - With his dearest thing, shall he not get away:

He hath drawn it out, and it hath come forth out of his back, - yea the flashing arrow-head, out of his gall, There shall march on him - terrors:

Whereas, this other man, dieth, in bitterness of soul, and hath never tasted good fortune:

Who can declare - to his face - his way? And, what, he, hath done, who shall recompense to him?

But, he, is one, and who can turn him? What his soul desired, he hath done.

Surely he will accomplish what is decreed for me, and, many such things, hath he in store.

Yea, GOD, hath made timid my heart, and, the Almighty, hath put me in terror.

Yea he draggeth along the mighty by his strength, He riseth up, and none hath assurance of life;

Whom hast thou taught speech? Whose inspiration hath come from thee?

A, boundary, hath he encircled on the face of the waters, as far as where light ends in darkness;

By his strength, hath he excited the sea, and, by his skill, hath he shattered the Crocodile:

By his spirit, hath he arched the heavens, His hand hath pierced the fleeing serpent.

Lo! these, are the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?

As GOD liveth who hath taken away my right, even the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul;

He hath built, like a moth, his house, - like a hut, which a watcher hath made.

The rich man, shall lie down, and not do it again, his eyes, hath he opened, and then is not.

There shall reach him - like waters - terrors, By night, a storm-wind hath stolen him away;

An end, hath one set to the darkness, and, into every extremity, is, he, making search, for the stone of darkness and death-shade;

He hath sunken a shaft, away from the inhabitants; Places forsaken by the foot, they hang down, away from men, sway to and fro;

The place of sapphires, are the stones thereof, and it hath, nuggets of gold: -

A path, the vulture hath not discerned, nor hath the eye of the hawk scanned it;

Ravenous beasts have not made a track thereof, neither hath the lion marched thereon:

Upon the flint, hath he thrust forth his hand, He hath turned up mountains by the roots;

Among the rocks, hath he cut open streams, and, every precious thing, hath his eye seen:

The resounding deep, hath said, It is not in me! And, the sea, hath said, It is not with me!

Seeing it hath been hid from the eyes of every living thing, and, from the bird of the heavens, hath it been concealed?

There are turned upon me terrors, - Chased away as with a wind, is mine abundance, and, as a cloud, hath passed away my prosperity.

He hath cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.

If my goings have swerved from the way, - and, after mine eyes, hath gone my heart, and, to my hands, hath adhered any stain,

If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman, or, by the door of my neighbour, I have lien in wait,

Lo! I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue, with my palate, hath spoken,

The spirit of GOD, hath made me, and, the inspiration of the Almighty, giveth me life.

If there hath been near him a messenger who could interpret - one of a thousand, to declare to the son of earth His uprightness,

Then hath he shewed him favour, and said, Set him free from going down to the pit, I have found a price of redemption!

His flesh hath been made fresher than a child's, he hath returned to the days of his youth;

He made supplication unto GOD, who hath accepted him, and he hath beheld his face with a shout of triumph, Thus hath he given back to man his righteousness.

He hath ransomed my soul from passing away into the pit, - and, my life, in the light, shall have vision.

For Job hath said - I am righteous, But, GOD, hath turned away my right;

For he hath said, It profiteth not a man, when, his good pleasure, is with God.

For he hath shewn no respect of persons unto princes, neither hath he recognised the rich rather than the poor? For, the work of his hands, are they all.

In the place of lawless men, hath he chastised them, in presence of beholders.

For, unto GOD, hath one ever said - I have borne punishment, I will not be perverse;

But, now, because it is not so, thou sayest - His anger hath punished, and yet hath he not at all known of transgression;

He will not withdraw - from a righteous one - his eyes, - but, with kings on the throne, He hath seated men triumphantly, and they have been exalted.

Then hath he declared to them their deed, and their transgressions - that they were wont to behave themselves proudly;

Thus hath he uncovered their ear to a warning, and said - that they should turn from iniquity.

Every son of earth, hath viewed it, Mortal man, looketh at it from afar.

Lo! he hath spread out over it, his lightning, The bed of the sea, hath he covered.

So then the wild-beast hath gone into covert, and, in its lairs, doth it remain.

Yet, now, men see not the light, bright though it is in the skies, when, a wind, hath passed over, and cleansed them.

Who hath cloven - for the torrent - a channel? Or a way for the lightning of thunders;

Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

Out of whose womb, came forth the ice? And, the hoar-frost of the heavens, who hath given it birth?

Who hath put - into cloud-forms - wisdom? Or who hath given - to the meteor - understanding?

Who hath sent forth the Wild Ass free? And, the bands of the swift-runner, who hath loosed?

And hath forgotten, that, a foot, may crush them, - or, the wild beast, tread on them!

For GOD hath suffered her to forget wisdom, and given her no share in understanding.

Lo! any hope of him, hath been found deceptive, Even at the sight of him, shall not one be overwhelmed?

Who hath forestalled me, that I may repay him? Under all the heavens, mine it is!

Who hath removed his outer garment, through his double row of teeth, who would enter?

The doors of his face, who hath opened? The circles of his teeth, are a terror!

There is not - upon the dust - his like, that hath been made to be without fear;

By the hearing of the ear, had I heard thee, but, now, mine own eye, hath seen thee.

How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, - and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;

Let me tell of a decree, - Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, to-day, have begotten thee:

With my voice - unto Yahweh, do I cry, and he hath answered me out of his holy mountain. Selah.

Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.

My face, is all sunken with sorrow, - it hath aged, because of all mine adversaries.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Yahweh hath heard the voice of my weeping:

Yahweh, hath heard my supplication, Yahweh, will receive, my prayer.

O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:

If he turn not, his sword, will he whet, - his bow, hath he bent, and made ready:

But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:

O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, - even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.

Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of the gates of death;

To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. Refunding music. Selah.

For the lawless one hath boasted over the longing of his soul, and, the robber, hath blasphemed Yahweh.

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, - From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.

He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten, - He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!

Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it !

Yahweh, putteth, the righteous, to the test, - But the lawless one and the lover of violence, his soul doth hate.

I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.

The impious hath said in his heart - There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

Hath not carried slander on his tongue, hath not done his friend a wrong, nor, a reproach, taken up against his neighbour;

Despised in his sight, is the reprobate, but, them who revere Yahweh, he doth honour, he hath sworn to his neighbour, and will not change;

His silver, hath he not put out on interest, nor, a bribe against the innocent, hath he taken. He that doeth these things, shall not be shaken unto times age-abiding.

I will bless Yahweh, who hath counselled me, - Surely, by night, shall mine impulses admonish me.

Therefore, hath my heart rejoiced, and mine honour exulted, Yea, my flesh, shall settle down securely;

As for GOD, blameless is his way, The speech of Yahweh hath been proved, A shield, he is to all who seek refuge in him.
