§6
*When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
§7
* 伯29:4 我愿如壮年的时候：那时我在帐棚中，上帝待我有密友之情；
§8
*As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
§9

§14

§21

§22
*When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
§23
* 伯29:12 因我拯救哀求的困苦人和无人帮助的孤儿。
§24
*Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
§25
* 伯29:13 将要灭亡的为我祝福；我也使寡妇心中欢乐。
§26
*The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
§27
* 伯29:14 我以公义为衣服，以公平为外袍和冠冕。
§28
*I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
§29
* 伯29:15 我为瞎子的眼，瘸子的脚。
§30
*I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
§31
* 伯29:16 我为穷乏人的父；素不认识的人，我查明他的案件。
§32
*I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
§33
* 伯29:17 我打破不义之人的牙床，从他牙齿中夺了所抢的。
§34
*And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
§35
* 伯29:18 我便说：我必死在家中（原文作窝中），必增添我的日子，多如尘沙。
§36
*Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
§37
* 伯29:19 我的根长到水边；露水终夜沾在我的枝上。
§38
*My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
§39
* 伯29:20 我的荣耀在身上增新；我的弓在手中日强。
§40
*My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
§41
* 伯29:21 人听见我而仰望，静默等候我的指教。
§42
*Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
§43
* 伯29:22 我说话之后，他们就不再说；我的言语像雨露滴在他们身上。
§44
*After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
§45
* 伯29:23 他们仰望我如仰望雨，又张开口如切慕春雨。
§46
*And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
§47
* 伯29:24 他们不敢自信，我就向他们含笑；他们不使我脸上的光改变。
§48
*If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
§49
* 伯29:25 我为他们选择道路，又坐首位；我如君王在军队中居住，又如吊丧的安慰伤心的人。
§50
*I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
