I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

Wasser umgaben mich bis an mein Leben, die Tiefe umringte mich; Schilf bedeckte mein Haupt.
Descendí a las raíces de los montes; La tierra echó sus cerraduras sobre mí para siempre: Mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, oh Jehová Dios mío.
Descendí a las bases de los montes; la tierra echó sus cerrojos sobre mí para siempre. Pero tú hiciste subir mi vida de la fosa, Jehová, Dios mío.
Je suis descendu jusqu'aux racines des montagnes, Les barres de la terre m'enfermaient pour toujours; Mais tu m'as fait remonter vivant de la fosse, Eternel, mon Dieu!
Io son disceso fino alle radici de’ monti; Le sbarre della terra son sopra me in perpetuo; Ma tu hai tratta fuor della fossa la vita mia, O Signore Iddio mio.
Eu desci até aos fundamentos dos montes; a terra me encerrou para sempre com os seus ferrolhos; mas tu fizeste subir a minha vida da perdição, ó SENHOR meu Deus.
我下沉到山的根基, 地的門閂將我永遠關住。 耶和華-我的上帝啊, 你卻將我的性命從地府裏救出來。
