“ 'oHbe' a loD forced Daq labor Daq tera'? Aren't Daj jajmey rur the jajmey vo' a hired ghop?

As a toy'wI' 'Iv earnestly desires the QIb, as a hireling 'Iv looks vaD Daj wages,

vaj 'oH jIH chenmoHta' Daq ghaj months vo' misery, wearisome nights 'oH wIv Daq jIH.

ghorgh jIH Qot bIng, jIH jatlh, ‘ ghorgh DIchDaq jIH Hu', je the ram taH ghoSta'?' jIH toss je tlhe' until the dawning vo' the jaj.

wIj ghab ghaH clothed tlhej worms je clods vo' dust. wIj Dir closes Dung, je breaks pa' afresh.

wIj jajmey 'oH swifter than a weaver's shuttle, je 'oH spent Hutlh tul.

Oh qaw vetlh wIj yIn ghaH a breath. wIj mIn DIchDaq ghobe' latlh legh QaQ.

The mIn vo' ghaH 'Iv sees jIH DIchDaq legh jIH ghobe' latlh. lIj mInDu' DIchDaq taH Daq jIH, 'ach jIH DIchDaq ghobe' taH.

As the cloud ghaH Soppu' je vanishes DoH, vaj ghaH 'Iv goes bIng Daq Sheol { Note: Sheol ghaH the Daq vo' the Heghpu'. } DIchDaq ghoS Dung ghobe' latlh.

ghaH DIchDaq chegh ghobe' latlh Daq Daj tuq, ghobe' DIchDaq Daj Daq Sov ghaH vay' latlh.

“ vaj jIH DichDaq ghobe' pol tam. jIH DichDaq jatlh Daq the anguish vo' wIj qa'. jIH DichDaq complain Daq the bitterness vo' wIj qa'.

'oH jIH a biQ'a', joq a biQ'a' monster, vetlh SoH lan a guard Dung jIH?

ghorgh jIH jatlh, ‘ wIj bed DIchDaq belmoH jIH. wIj couch DIchDaq leSchu' wIj complaint;'

vaj SoH scare jIH tlhej dreams, je terrify jIH vegh visions:

vaj vetlh wIj qa' chooses strangling, Hegh rather than wIj HomDu'.

jIH loathe wIj yIn. jIH yImev want Daq yIn reH. mej jIH mob, vaD wIj jajmey 'oH 'ach a breath.

nuq ghaH loD, vetlh SoH should magnify ghaH, vetlh SoH should cher lIj yab Daq ghaH,

vetlh SoH should visit ghaH Hoch po, je test ghaH Hoch moment?

chay' tIq DichDaq SoH ghobe' legh DoH vo' jIH, ghobe' mej jIH mob until jIH swallow bIng wIj spittle?

chugh jIH ghaj yempu', nuq ta' jIH ta' Daq SoH, SoH watcher vo' loDpu'? qatlh ghaj SoH cher jIH as a mark vaD SoH, vaj vetlh jIH 'oH a burden Daq jIH'egh?

qatlh ta' SoH ghobe' pardon wIj disobedience, je tlhap DoH wIj He'taHghach? vaD DaH DIchDaq jIH Qot bIng Daq the dust. SoH DichDaq nej jIH diligently, 'ach jIH DIchDaq ghobe' taH.”
