[1]My soulH5315 is wearyH5354[H8804] of my lifeH2416; I will leaveH5800[H8799] my complaintH7879 upon myself; I will speakH1696[H8762] in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.
[2]I will sayH559[H8799] unto GodH433, Do not condemnH7561[H8686] me; shewH3045[H8685] me wherefore thou contendestH7378 with meH8799.
[3]Is it goodH2895[H8804] unto thee that thou shouldest oppressH6231[H8799], that thou shouldest despiseH3988[H8799] the workH3018 of thine handsH3709, and shineH3313[H8689] upon the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563?
[4]Hast thou eyesH5869 of fleshH1320? or seestH7200[H8799] thou as manH582 seethH7200?[H8800]
[5]Are thy daysH3117 as the daysH3117 of manH582? are thy yearsH8141 as man'sH1397 daysH3117,
[6]That thou enquirestH1245[H8762] after mine iniquityH5771, and searchestH1875[H8799] after my sinH2403?
[7]Thou knowestH1847 that I am not wickedH7561[H8799]; and there is none that can deliverH5337[H8688] out of thine handH3027.
[8]Thine handsH3027 have madeH6087[H8765] me and fashionedH6213[H8799] me togetherH3162 round aboutH5439; yet thou dost destroyH1104 meH8762.
[9]RememberH2142[H8798], I beseech thee, that thou hast madeH6213[H8804] me as the clayH2563; and wilt thou bringH7725 me into dustH6083 againH7725?[H8686]
[10]Hast thou not poured me outH5413[H8686] as milkH2461, and curdledH7087[H8686] me like cheeseH1385?
[11]Thou hast clothedH3847[H8686] me with skinH5785 and fleshH1320, and hast fencedH7753[H8787] me with bonesH6106 and sinewsH1517.
[12]Thou hast grantedH6213[H8804] me lifeH2416 and favourH2617, and thy visitationH6486 hath preservedH8104[H8804] my spiritH7307.
[13]And these things hast thou hidH6845[H8804] in thine heartH3824: I knowH3045 that this is with theeH8804.
[14]If I sinH2398[H8804], then thou markestH8104[H8804] me, and thou wilt not acquitH5352[H8762] me from mine iniquityH5771.
[15]If I be wickedH7561[H8804], woeH480 unto me; and if I be righteousH6663[H8804], yet will I not lift upH5375[H8799] my headH7218. I am fullH7649 of confusionH7036; therefore seeH7202[H8798][H8676][H7200][H8798] thou mine afflictionH6040;
[16]For it increasethH1342[H8799]. Thou huntestH6679[H8799] me as a fierce lionH7826: and againH7725[H8799] thou shewest thyself marvellousH6381 upon meH8691.
[17]Thou renewestH2318[H8762] thy witnessesH5707 against me, and increasestH7235[H8686] thine indignationH3708 upon meH5978; changesH2487 and war are against meH6635.
[18]Wherefore then hast thou brought me forthH3318[H8689] out of the wombH7358? Oh that I had given up the ghostH1478[H8799], and no eyeH5869 had seenH7200 meH8799!
[19]I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carriedH2986[H8714] from the wombH990 to the graveH6913.
[20]Are not my daysH3117 fewH4592? ceaseH2308[H8798][H8675][H2308][H8799] then, and let me aloneH7896[H8798][H8675][H7896][H8799], that I may take comfortH1082[H8686] a littleH4592,
[21]Before I goH3212[H8799] whence I shall not returnH7725[H8799], even to the landH776 of darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757;
[22]A landH776 of darknessH5890, as darknessH652 itself; and of the shadow of deathH6757, without any orderH5468, and where the lightH3313[H8686] is as darknessH652.
