17他們看早晨如幽暗，因為他們曉得幽暗的驚駭。
18'They are insignificant on the surface of the water; Their portion is cursed on the earth. They do not turn toward the vineyards.
18這些惡人猶如浮萍快快飄去。他們所得的分在世上被咒詛；他們不得再走葡萄園的路。
19'Drought and heat consume the snow waters, [So does] Sheol [those who] have sinned.
19乾旱炎熱消沒雪水；陰間也如此消沒犯罪之輩。
20'A mother will forget him; The worm feeds sweetly till he is no longer remembered. And wickedness will be broken like a tree.
20懷他的母（原文是胎）要忘記他；蟲子要吃他，覺得甘甜；他不再被人記念。不義的人必如樹折斷。
21'He wrongs the barren woman And does no good for the widow.

22'But He drags off the valiant by His power; He rises, but no one has assurance of life.
22然而神用能力保全有勢力的人；那性命難保的人仍然興起。
23'He provides them with security, and they are supported; And His eyes are on their ways.
23神使他們安穩，他們就有所倚靠；神的眼目也看顧他們的道路。
24'They are exalted a little while, then they are gone; Moreover, they are brought low and like everything gathered up; Even like the heads of grain they are cut off.
24他們被高舉，不過片時就沒有了；他們降為卑，被除滅，與眾人一樣，又如穀穗被割。
25'Now if it is not so, who can prove me a liar, And make my speech worthless?'
25若不是這樣，誰能證實我是說謊的，將我的言語駁為虛空呢？
