"My soul loathes my life; I will give free course to my complaint, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. |
2
|
I will say to God, 'Do not condemn me; Show me why You contend with me. |
3
|
[Does it] seem good to You that You should oppress, That You should despise the work of Your hands, And smile on the counsel of the wicked? |
4
|
Do You have eyes of flesh? Or do You see as man sees? |
5
|
[Are] Your days like the days of a mortal man? [Are] Your years like the days of a mighty man, |
6
|
That You should seek for my iniquity And search out my sin, |
7
|
Although You know that I am not wicked, And [there is] no one who can deliver from Your hand? |
8
|
'Your hands have made me and fashioned me, An intricate unity; Yet You would destroy me. |
9
|
Remember, I pray, that You have made me like clay. And will You turn me into dust again? |
10
|
Did you not pour me out like milk, And curdle me like cheese, |
11
|
Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews? |
12
|
You have granted me life and favor, And Your care has preserved my spirit. |
13
|
'And these [things] You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this [was] with You: |
14
|
If I sin, then You mark me, And will not acquit me of my iniquity. |
15
|
If I am wicked, woe to me; Even [if] I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head. [I am] full of disgrace; See my misery! |
16
|
If [my head] is exalted, You hunt me like a fierce lion, And again You show Yourself awesome against me. |
17
|
You renew Your witnesses against me, And increase Your indignation toward me; Changes and war are [ever] with me. |
18
|
'Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me! |
19
|
I would have been as though I had not been. I would have been carried from the womb to the grave. |
20
|
Are not my days few? Cease! Leave me alone, that I may take a little comfort, |
21
|
Before I go [to the place from which] I shall not return, To the land of darkness and the shadow of death, |
22
|
A land as dark as darkness [itself,] As the shadow of death, without any order, [Where] even the light [is] like darkness.' " |
