Meine Feinde haben mich gehetzt wie einen Vogel ohne Ursache;
Mis enemigos me dieron caza como a ave, sin por qué.
Mis enemigos me dieron caza como a un pájaro, sin motivo.
Ils m'ont donné la chasse comme à un oiseau, Ceux qui sont à tort mes ennemis.
Quelli che senza cagione, mi son nemici, Mi han cacciato del continuo, come un uccelletto;
Como ave me caçam os que, sem causa, são meus inimigos.
無故與我為敵的追逼我, 像追捕雀鳥一樣。
