  • 1. My soule is weary of my life, I will leaue my complaint vpon my selfe; I will speake in the bitternesse of my soule.
  • 2. I will say vnto God, Doe not condemne mee; shewe me wherefore thou contendest with me.
  • 3. Is it good vnto thee, that thou shouldest oppresse? that thou shouldest despise the worke of thine hands? and shine vpon the counsell of the wicked?
  • 4. Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
  • 5. Are thy dayes as the dayes of man? are thy yeeres as mans dayes,
  • 6. That thou enquirest after mine iniquitie, and searchest after my sinne?
  • 7. Thou knowest that I am not wicked, and there is none that can deliuer out of thine hand.
  • 8. Thine hands haue made me and fashioned me together round about yet thou doest destroy me.
  • 9. Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and wilt thou bring me into dust againe?
  • 10. Hast thou not powred me out as milke, and cruddled me like cheese?
  • 11. Thou hast cloathed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinewes.
  • 12. Thou hast granted me life and fauour, and thy visitation hath preserued my spirit.
  • 13. And these things hast thou hid in thine heart; I know that this is with thee.
  • 14. If I sinne, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquite me from mine iniquitie.
  • 15. If I be wicked, woe vnto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift vp my head: I am full of confusion, therefore see thou mine affliction:
  • 16. For it increaseth: thou huntest me as a fierce Lion: and againe thou shewest thy selfe marueilous vpon me.
  • 17. Thou renuest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation vpon me; Changes and warre are against me.
  • 18. Wherfore then hast thou brought me forth out of the wombe? Oh that I had giuen vp the ghost, and no eye had seene me!
  • 19. I should haue bene as though I had not bene, I should haue bene caried from the wombe to the graue.
  • 20. Are not my dayes few? cease then, and let me alone that I may take comfort a litle,
  • 21. Before I goe whence I shall not returne, euen to the land of darknes and the shadow of death,
  • 22. A land of darknes, as darknes it selfe, and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkenes.
