Psalms 73:16 in English

¹⁶ When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;

¹⁶ The day is thine, and the night is thine; thou hast prepared the sun and the moon.

¹⁶ When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁶ When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁶ The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon.

¹⁶ When I thought how I might know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁶ And when I tried to think about all this, it was very difficult for me to understand it.

¹⁶ The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon.

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁶ When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;

¹⁶ When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes;

¹⁶ Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.

¹⁶ So I thought about it and tried to understand, but it looked like a lot of hard work to me—

¹⁶ Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,

¹⁶ And when I pondered how I might know this, it was wearisome in mine eyes;

¹⁶ When I thought to know this, It was too painful for me;

¹⁶ And when I should think to know this, it would be trouble in my eyes;

¹⁶ The day is thine, and the night is thine; Thou hast prepared the sun and the moon.

¹⁶ So, when I studied to know this, It was painful to my eyes;

¹⁶ So I sought to understand it, but a wearisome task it seemed:

¹⁶ So I sought to understand it, but a wearisome task it seemed:

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁶ Though I tried to understand these things, it was too difficult for me.

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁶ When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—

¹⁶ I guessed, that I should know this; but too much travail is before me.

¹⁶ I guessed, that I should know this; (but too much) travail is before me. (I tried to work through all of this; but it was too much for me.)

¹⁶ And I think to know this, Perverseness it is in mine eyes,
