¹ ολεκομαι πνευματι φερομενος δεομαι δε ταφης και ου τυγχανω	¹ My spirit will be wasted, my days will be shortened, and only the grave will left for me.
² λισσομαι καμνων και τι ποιησας	² I have not sinned, yet my eye remains in bitterness.
³ εκλεψαν δε μου τα υπαρχοντα αλλοτριοι τις εστιν ουτος τη χειρι μου συνδεθητω	³ Free me, O Lord, and set me beside you, and let the hand of anyone you wish fight against me.
⁴ οτι καρδιαν αυτων εκρυψας απο φρονησεως δια τουτο ου μη υψωσης αυτους	⁴ You have set their heart far from discipline; therefore, they will not be praised.
⁵ τη μεριδι αναγγελει κακιας οφθαλμοι δε μου εφ' υιοις ετακησαν	⁵ He promises prey to his companions, but the eyes of his sons will grow faint.
⁶ εθου δε με θρυλημα εν εθνεσιν γελως δε αυτοις απεβην	⁶ He has posted me like a proverb to the people, and I am an example in their presence.
⁷ πεπωρωνται γαρ απο οργης οι οφθαλμοι μου πεπολιορκημαι μεγαλως υπο παντων	⁷ My eyesight has been clouded by indignation, and my limbs have been reduced, as if to nothing.
⁸ θαυμα εσχεν αληθινους επι τουτω δικαιος δε επι παρανομω επανασταιη	⁸ The just will be astounded over this, and the innocent will be stirred up against the hypocrite.
⁹ σχοιη δε πιστος την εαυτου οδον καθαρος δε χειρας αναλαβοι θαρσος	⁹ And the just will cling to his way, and clean hands will increase strength.
¹⁰ ου μην δε αλλα παντες ερειδετε και δευτε δη ου γαρ ευρισκω εν υμιν αληθες	¹⁰ Therefore, be converted, all of you, and approach, for I do not find in you any wisdom.
¹¹ αι ημεραι μου παρηλθον εν βρομω ερραγη δε τα αρθρα της καρδιας μου	¹¹ My days have passed away; my thoughts have been scattered, tormenting my heart.
¹² νυκτα εις ημεραν εθηκαν φως εγγυς απο προσωπου σκοτους	¹² They have turned night into day, and I hope for light again after the darkness.
¹³ εαν γαρ υπομεινω αδης μου ο οικος εν δε γνοφω εστρωται μου η στρωμνη	¹³ If I should wait, the underworld is my house, and in darkness I have spread out my bed.
¹⁴ θανατον επεκαλεσαμην πατερα μου ειναι μητερα δε μου και αδελφην σαπριαν	¹⁴ I have said to decay and to worms: “You are my father, my mother, and my sister.”
¹⁵ που ουν μου ετι εστιν η ελπις η τα αγαθα μου οψομαι	¹⁵ Therefore, where is my expectation now, and who is it that considers my patience?
¹⁶ η μετ' εμου εις αδην καταβησονται η ομοθυμαδον επι χωματος καταβησομεθα	¹⁶ Everything of mine will descend into the deepest underworld; do you think that, in that place at least, there will be rest for me?
