| 5:1 | 你且呼求，有谁答应你。诸圣者之中，你转向那一位呢。 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn? | ||
| 5:2 | 忿怒害死愚妄人，嫉妒杀死痴迷人。 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. | ||
| 5:3 | 我曾见愚妄人扎下根，但我忽然咒诅他的住处。 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. | ||
| 5:4 | 他的儿女远离稳妥的地步，在城门口被压，并无人搭救。 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. | ||
| 5:5 | 他的庄稼有饥饿的人吃尽了，就是在荆棘里的也抢去了。他的财宝有网罗张口吞灭了。 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. | ||
| 5:6 | 祸患原不是从土中出来。患难也不是从地里发生。 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; | ||
| 5:7 | 人生在世必遇患难，如同火星飞腾。 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. | ||
| 5:8 | 至于我，我必仰望神，把我的事情托付他。 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: | ||
| 5:9 | 他行大事不可测度，行奇事不可胜数。 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: | ||
| 5:10 | 降雨在地上，赐水于田里。 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: | ||
| 5:11 | 将卑微的安置在高处，将哀痛的举到稳妥之地。 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. | ||
| 5:12 | 破坏狡猾人的计谋，使他们所谋的不得成就。 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. | ||
| 5:13 | 他叫有智慧的中了自己的诡计，使狡诈人的计谋速速灭亡。 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. | ||
| 5:14 | 他们白昼遇见黑暗，午间摸索如在夜间。 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night. | ||
| 5:15 | 神拯救穷乏人，脱离他们口中的刀，和强暴人的手。 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. | ||
| 5:16 | 这样，贫寒的人有指望，罪孽之辈必塞口无言。 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. | ||
| 5:17 | 神所惩治的人是有福的。所以你不可轻看全能者的管教。 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: | ||
| 5:18 | 因为他打破，又缠裹。他击伤，用手医治。 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. | ||
| 5:19 | 你六次遭难，他必救你。就是七次，灾祸也无法害你。 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. | ||
| 5:20 | 在饥荒中，他必救你脱离死亡。在争战中，他必救你脱离刀剑的权力。 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. | ||
| 5:21 | 你必被隐藏，不受口舌之害。灾殃临到，你也不惧怕。 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. | ||
| 5:22 | 你遇见灾害饥馑，就必嬉笑。地上的野兽，你也不惧怕。 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. | ||
| 5:23 | 因为你必与田间的石头立约，田里的野兽也必与你和好。 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. | ||
| 5:24 | 你必知道你帐棚平安，要查看你的羊圈，一无所失。 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. | ||
| 5:25 | 也必知道你的后裔将来发达，你的子孙像地上的青草。 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. | ||
| 5:26 | 你必寿高年迈才归坟墓，好像禾捆到时收藏。 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. | ||
| 5:27 | 这理，我们已经考察，本是如此。你须要听，要知道是与自己有益。 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good. | ||
