18 “Earth, do not cover my blood;

may my cry never be laid to rest!

18 “O earth, cover not my blood,

and let my cry find no resting place.

18 O earth, cover not thou my blood,

And let my cry have no place.

18 “O earth, do not cover my blood,

And let my cry have no resting place!

18 “Earth, please do not cover up my blood.

Don’t let my cry ever stop being heard!

18 O earth, cover not thou my blood,

And let my cry have no resting-place.

18 O earth, cover not my blood, and let there be no place for my cry!

18 “Earth, don’t cover my blood. 

Don’t ever let my cry ⸤for justice⸥ be stopped. 

18 Earth, do not cover my blood;

may my cry for help find no resting place.

18 “O earth, do not cover my blood;

let my outcry find no resting place.

18 “O earth, you should not cover my blood,

and let there be no place for my cry for help.

18 “Earth, please don’t cover up my blood!

May God always hear my cry for help!

18 “O earth, do not cover my blood,

And let there be no resting place for my cry.
