10 Then I would still have this consolation—

my joy in unrelenting pain—

that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.

10 This would be my comfort;

I would even exult in pain unsparing,

for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

10 Then should I yet have comfort;

Yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare;

For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

10 Then I would still have comfort;

Though in anguish I would exult,

He will not spare;

For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

10 Then I would have this comfort

and be glad even in this unending pain,

because I would know I did not reject the words of the Holy One.

10 And be it still my consolation,

Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not,

That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

10 Then should I yet have comfort; and in the pain which spareth not I would rejoice that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

10 Then I would still have comfort. 

I would be happy despite my endless pain, 

because I have not rejected the words of the Holy One. 

10 It would still bring me comfort,

and I would leap for joy in unrelenting pain

that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

10 This would be my consolation;

I would even exult in unrelenting pain;

for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

10 But it will still be my consolation,

and I would recoil in unrelenting pain,

for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

10 Then I’d still have one thing to comfort me.

It would be that I haven’t said no to the Holy One’s commands.

That would give me joy in spite of my pain that never ends.

10 “But it is still my consolation,

And I rejoice in unsparing pain,

That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
