sie haben mein Leben in einer Grube fast umgebracht und Steine auf mich geworfen;
Ataron mi vida en mazmorra, pusieron piedra sobre mí.
Silenciaron mi vida en la fosa y arrojaron una piedra contra mí.
Ils ont voulu anéantir ma vie dans une fosse, Et ils ont jeté des pierres sur moi.
Hanno troncata la vita mia, e l’hanno messa nella fossa; Ed hanno gettate delle pietre sopra me.
Cortaram-me a vida na masmorra, e lançaram pedras sobre mim.
他們要在坑中了結我的性命, 丟石頭在我身上。
