Verse 35

I am this day{H3117} fourscore{H8084} years{H8141} old:{H1121} can I discern{H3045} between good{H2896} and bad?{H7451} can thy servant{H5650} taste{H2938} what{H834} I eat{H398} or what{H834} I drink?{H8354} can I hear{H8085} any more the voice{H6963} of singing men{H7891} and singing women?{H7891} wherefore then should thy servant{H5650} be yet a burden{H4853} unto my lord{H113} the king?{H4428}
