流我之血、使我就墓、何益之有、塵土安能頌爾、安能宣爾誠實兮、

予也被殺歸墓、何益之有、一坯之土、安能頌爾名、稱爾道兮、

“ What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?

I said,“ What good will come if I become silent in death? What good will come if I go down into the grave? Can the dust of my dead body praise you? Can it tell how faithful you are?

“ What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?

“ What will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you? Can it tell of your faithfulness?

“ What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your truth?

“ What gain is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

“ What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

“ What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your truth?

What profit[ is there] in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

“ What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty?

“ What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

因为，在死地无人记念你，在阴间有谁称谢你？

死人不能赞美耶和华；下到寂静中的也都不能。但我们要称颂耶和华，从今时直到永远。你们要赞美耶和华！

原来，阴间不能称谢你，死亡不能颂扬你；下坑的人不能盼望你的诚实。

我必不致死，仍要存活，并要传扬耶和华的作为。

你岂要行奇事给死人看吗？难道阴魂还能起来称赞你吗？细拉岂能在坟墓里述说你的慈爱吗？岂能在灭亡中述说你的信实吗？你的奇事岂能在幽暗里被知道吗？你的公义岂能在忘记之地被知道吗？

凡你手所当做的事要尽力去做；因为在你所必去的阴间没有工作，没有谋算，没有知识，也没有智慧。
