(Putting one's self last)
江海所以能為百谷王者，That whereby the rivers and seas are able to receive the homage and tribute of all the valley streams,
以其善下之， is their skill in being lower than they;
故能為百谷王。 - it is thus that they are the kings of them all.
是以聖人欲上民，So it is that the sage (ruler), wishing to be above men,
必以言下之； puts himself by his words below them,
欲先民，and, wishing to be before them,
必以身後之。 places his person behind them.
是以聖人處上而民不重，In this way though he has his place above them, men do not feel his weight,
處前而民不害。nor though he has his place before them, do they feel it an injury to them.
是以天下樂推而不厭。Therefore all in the world delight to exalt him and do not weary of him.
以其不爭， Because he does not strive,
故天下莫能與之爭。 no one finds it possible to strive with him.
