For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

Denn die Hölle lobt dich nicht; so rühmt dich der Tod nicht, und die in die Grube fahren, warten nicht auf deine Wahrheit;
Porque el sepulcro no te celebrará, ni te alabará la muerte; Ni los que descienden al hoyo esperarán tu verdad.
Ce n'est pas le séjour des morts qui te loue, Ce n'est pas la mort qui te célèbre; Ceux qui sont descendus dans la fosse n'espèrent plus en ta fidélité.
Perciocchè il sepolcro non ti celebrerà, La morte non ti loderà; Quelli che scendono nella fossa non ispereranno nella tua verità.
Porque não te louvará a sepultura, nem a morte te glorificará; nem esperarão em tua verdade os que descem à cova.
原來,陰間不能稱謝你, 死亡不能頌揚你, 下到地府的人也不能盼望你的信實。
