Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 5:1 | Call now. Is there anyone answering you? And to which of the saints will you turn? |
| 5:2 | For vexation kills the fool, and passion puts to death the simple. |
| 5:3 | I have seen the fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling place. |
| 5:4 | His sons are far from safety; yea, they are crushed in the gate; nor is there any deliverer. |
| 5:5 | The hungry eat his harvest, and take him to the thorns, and the snare snuffs up their wealth. |
| 5:6 | For affliction does not come forth from the dust, nor does trouble spring up out of the ground; |
| 5:7 | for man is born to trouble, and the sons of the flame rise, flying upward . |
| 5:8 | Truly, I would seek to God, and to God I would put my plea, |
| 5:9 | who is doing great things, and there is no searching them ; marvelous things to which is no numbering, |
| 5:10 | giving rain on the face of the earth and sending water on the face of the field; |
| 5:11 | to set the lowly on high; yea, the mourners become very high in safety; |
| 5:12 | breaking the plots of the crafty, nor did their hands perform the undertaking. |
| 5:13 | He takes the wise in their craftiness, and the counsel of the wily ones is hastened. |
| 5:14 | They meet with darkness by day, and grope in the noonday as in the night. |
| 5:15 | But He saves the needy from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. |
| 5:16 | And there is hope for the weak; and injustice shuts her mouth. |
| 5:17 | Behold, blessed is the man whom God corrects; and despise not the chastisement of the Almighty. |
| 5:18 | For He wounds, and He binds up. He shatters, and His hands heal. |
| 5:19 | He will deliver you in six troubles; yea, in seven no evil shall touch you. |
| 5:20 | In famine He will redeem you from death; and in war from the hand of the sword. |
| 5:21 | You shall be hidden from the whip of the tongue; and you shall not be afraid of violence when it comes. |
| 5:22 | You shall laugh at violence and at famine; and you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth. |
| 5:23 | For you shall be in covenant with the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you. |
| 5:24 | And you shall know that your tent is in peace; and you shall visit your home and shall miss nothing. |
| 5:25 | And you shall know that your seed will be numerous, and your offspring as the grass of the earth. |
| 5:26 | You shall come to the grave in full vigor, like a stack of grain comes up in its season. |
| 5:27 | Consider this. We have searched it out; it is so. Hear it, and know it for yourself. |
