8 GHIMEL. Yet even when I cry out and beg, he excludes my prayer.	8 Aun cuando grito y pido auxilio, él sofoca mi súplica.
9 GHIMEL. He has enclosed my ways with square stones; he has subverted my paths.	9 Ha cercado mis caminos con piedras sillares, ha torcido mis senderos.

12 DALETH. He has bent his bow, and he has positioned me like a target for his arrows.	12 Ha tensado su arco y me ha fijado como blanco de sus flechas.
13 HE. He has shot into my kidneys the daughters of his quiver.	13 He. Ha clavado en mis lomos los hijos de su aljaba.
14 HE. I have become a derision to all my people, their song throughout the day.	14 De todo mi pueblo me he hecho la irrisión, su copla todo el día.
15 HE. He has filled me with bitterness; he has inebriated me with wormwood.	15 El me ha colmado de amargura, me ha abrevado con ajenjo.
16 VAU. And he has broken each one of my teeth; he has fed me with ashes.	16 Vau. Ha quebrado mis dientes con guijarro, me ha revolcado en la ceniza.
17 VAU. And my soul has been driven away from peace; I have forgotten what is good.	17 Mi alma está alejada de la paz, he olvidado la dicha.

20 ZAIN. I will call to mind the past, and my soul shall languish within me.	20 Lo recuerda, lo recuerda, y se hunde mi alma en mí.
21 ZAIN. These recollections are in my heart; therefore, I shall hope.	21 Esto revolveré en mi corazón, por ello esperaré:
22 HETH. By the mercies of the Lord, we are not consumed. For his compassion has not passed away.	22 Jet. Que el amor de Yahveh no se ha acabado, ni se ha agotado su ternura;
23 HETH. I know it at first light; great is your faithfulness.	23 cada mañana se renuevan: ¡grande es tu lealtad!
24 HETH. “The Lord is my portion,” said my soul. Because of this, I will wait for him.	24 «¡Mi porción es Yahveh, dice mi alma, por eso en él espero!»

28 JOD. He shall sit solitary and silent. For he has lifted it upon himself.	28 Yod. Que se siente solitario y silencioso, cuando el Señor se lo impone;
29 JOD. He shall place his mouth in the dirt, if perhaps there may be hope.	29 que ponga su boca en el polvo: quizá haya esperanza;
30 JOD. He shall give his cheek to those who strike him; he shall be saturated with reproaches.	30 que tienda la mejilla a quien lo hiere, que se harte de oprobios.
31 CAPH. For the Lord will not rebuke forever.	31 Kaf. Porque no desecha para siempre a los humanos el Señor:
32 CAPH. For, if he has cast down, he will also have compassion, according to the multitude of his mercies.	32 si llega a afligir, se apiada luego según su inmenso amor;
33 CAPH. For he has not humiliated from his heart, nor has he thrown aside the sons of men,	33 pues no de corazón humilla él ni aflige a los hijos de hombre.
34 LAMED. as if to crush under his feet all the prisoners of the land,	34 Lámed. Cuando se aplasta bajo el pie a todos los cautivos de un país,
35 LAMED. as if to turn aside the judgment of a man in the sight of the presence of the Most High,	35 cuando se tuerce el derecho de un hombre ante la faz del Altísimo,
36 LAMED. as if to pervert a man in his judgment: the Lord does not do this.	36 cuando se causa entuerto a un hombre en su proceso, ¿el Señor no lo ve?
