From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

Wir hören Lobgesänge vom Ende der Erde zu Ehren dem Gerechten. Und ich muß sagen: Wie bin ich aber so elend! wie bin ich aber so elend! Weh mir! denn es rauben die Räuber, ja immerfort rauben die Räuber.
De lo postrero de la tierra oímos salmos: Gloria al justo. Y yo dije: ¡Mi flaqueza, mi flaqueza, ay de mí! Prevaricadores han prevaricado; y han prevaricado con prevaricación de desleales.
De l'extrémité de la terre nous entendons chanter: Gloire au juste! Mais moi je dis: Je suis perdu! je suis perdu! malheur à moi! Les pillards pillent, et les pillards s'acharnent au pillage.
Noi abbiamo uditi cantici dall’estremità della terra, che dicevano: Gloria al giusto. Ed io ho detto: Ahi lasso me! ahi lasso me! guai a me! i disleali procedono dislealmente; anzi procedono dislealmente, della dislealtà de’ più disleali.
Dos confins da terra ouvimos cantar: Glória ao justo. Mas eu disse: Emagreço, emagreço, ai de mim! Os pérfidos têm tratado perfidamente; sim, os pérfidos têm tratado perfidamente.
我們聽見從地極有人歌唱: 「榮耀歸於公義的那一位!」 我卻說:「我滅亡了! 我滅亡了,我有禍了! 詭詐的還在行詭詐, 詭詐的還在大行詭詐。」
