Meine Rede bleibt noch betrübt; meine Macht ist schwach über meinem Seufzen.
If only I knew where to find him;
if only I could go to his dwelling!
if only I could go to his dwelling!
Ach daß ich wüßte, wie ich ihn finden und zu seinem Stuhl kommen möchte
I would state my case before him
and fill my mouth with arguments.
and fill my mouth with arguments.
und das Recht vor ihm sollte vorlegen und den Mund voll Verantwortung fassen
I would find out what he would answer me,
and consider what he would say to me.
and consider what he would say to me.
und erfahren die Reden, die er mir antworten, und vernehmen, was er mir sagen würde!
Would he vigorously oppose me?
No, he would not press charges against me.
No, he would not press charges against me.
Will er mit großer Macht mit mir rechten? Er stelle sich nicht so gegen mich,
There the upright can establish their innocence before him,
and there I would be delivered forever from my judge.
and there I would be delivered forever from my judge.
sondern lege mir’s gleich vor, so will ich mein Recht wohl gewinnen.
“But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
Aber gehe ich nun stracks vor mich, so ist er nicht da; gehe ich zurück, so spüre ich ihn nicht;
When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.
ist er zur Linken, so schaue ich ihn nicht; verbirgt er sich zur Rechten, so sehe ich ihn nicht.
But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
Er aber kennt meinen Weg wohl. Er versuche mich, so will ich erfunden werden wie das Gold.
My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside.
I have kept to his way without turning aside.
Denn ich setze meinen Fuß auf seine Bahn und halte seinen Weg und weiche nicht ab
I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
und trete nicht von dem Gebot seiner Lippen und bewahre die Reden seines Mundes mehr denn mein eigen Gesetz.
“But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?
He does whatever he pleases.
He does whatever he pleases.
Doch er ist einig; wer will ihm wehren? Und er macht’s wie er will.
He carries out his decree against me,
and many such plans he still has in store.
and many such plans he still has in store.
Denn er wird vollführen, was mir bestimmt ist, und hat noch viel dergleichen im Sinne.
That is why I am terrified before him;
when I think of all this, I fear him.
when I think of all this, I fear him.
Darum erschrecke ich vor ihm; und wenn ich’s bedenke, so fürchte ich mich vor ihm.
God has made my heart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me.
the Almighty has terrified me.
Gott hat mein Herz blöde gemacht, und der Allmächtige hat mich erschreckt.
