He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

daß ein Verlassener geduldig sei, wenn ihn etwas überfällt,
Sentarase solo, y callará, porque lo llevó sobre sí.
Que se siente solo y guarde silencio, porque él se lo ha impuesto.
Il se tiendra solitaire et silencieux, Parce que l'Eternel le lui impose;
Sieda egli pur solitario, ed in silenzio, Se Dio gliel’ha imposto!
Assente-se solitário e fique em silêncio; porquanto Deus o pôs sobre ele.
他當安靜獨坐, 因為這是耶和華加在他身上的。
