Der Gottlose flieht, und niemand jagt ihn; der Gerechte aber ist getrost wie ein junger Löwe.
Huye el impío sin que nadie lo persiga: Mas el justo está confiado como un leoncillo.
Le méchant prend la fuite sans qu'on le poursuive, Le juste a de l'assurance comme un jeune lion.
Gli empi fuggono, senza che alcuno li perseguiti; Ma i giusti stanno sicuri, come un leoncello
OS ímpios fogem sem que haja ninguém a persegui-los; mas os justos são ousados como um leão.
惡人雖無人追趕也逃跑; 義人卻膽壯像獅子。
