- 1. My soul hath been weary of my life, I leave off my talking to myself, I speak in the bitterness of my soul.
- 2. I say unto God, `Do not condemn me, Let me know why Thou dost strive `with' me.
- 3. Is it good for Thee that Thou dost oppress? That Thou despisest the labour of Thy hands, And on the counsel of the wicked hast shone?
- 4. Eyes of flesh hast Thou? As man seeth -- seest Thou?
- 5. As the days of man `are' Thy days? Thy years as the days of a man?
- 6. That Thou inquirest for mine iniquity, And for my sin seekest?
- 7. For Thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is no deliverer from Thy hand.
- 8. Thy hands have taken pains about me, And they make me together round about, And Thou swallowest me up!
- 9. Remember, I pray Thee, That as clay Thou hast made me, And unto dust Thou dost bring me back.
- 10. Dost Thou not as milk pour me out? And as cheese curdle me?
- 11. Skin and flesh Thou dost put on me, And with bones and sinews dost fence me.
- 12. Life and kindness Thou hast done with me. And Thy inspection hath preserved my spirit.
- 13. And these Thou hast laid up in Thy heart, I have known that this `is' with Thee.
- 14. If I sinned, then Thou hast observed me, And from mine iniquity dost not acquit me,
- 15. If I have done wickedly -- wo to me, And righteously -- I lift not up my head, Full of shame -- then see my affliction,
- 16. And it riseth -- as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou turnest back -- Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me.
- 17. Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare `are' with me.
- 18. And why from the womb Hast Thou brought me forth? I expire, and the eye doth not see me.
- 19. As I had not been, I am, From the belly to the grave I am brought,
- 20. Are not my days few? Cease then, and put from me, And I brighten up a little,
- 21. Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and death-shade,
- 22. A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade -- and no order, And the shining `is' as thick darkness.'
