|
My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. |
2
|
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me. |
3
|
Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked? |
4
|
Hast thou eyes of flesh, or seest thou as man seeth? |
5
|
Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man-s days, |
6
|
That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin, |
7
|
Although thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand? |
8
|
Thine hands have framed me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. |
9
|
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? |
10
|
Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? |
11
|
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews. |
12
|
Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. |
13
|
Yet these things thou didst hide in thine heart; I know that this is with thee: |
14
|
If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. |
15
|
If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; being filled with ignominy and looking upon mine affliction. |
16
|
And if {cf15i my head} exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvelous upon me. |
17
|
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and warfare are with me. |
18
|
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me. |
19
|
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. |
20
|
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, |
21
|
Before I go whence I shall not return, {cf15i even} to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death; |
22
|
A land of thick darkness, as darkness {cf15i itself}; {cf15i a land} of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness. |
