My soul{H5315} is weary{H5354} of my life;{H2416} I will give free course{H5800} to my complaint;{H7879} I will speak{H1696} in the bitterness{H4751} of my soul.{H5315}

I will say{H559} unto God,{H433} Do not condemn{H7561} me; Show{H3045} me wherefore thou contendest{H7378} with me.

Is it good{H2895} unto thee that thou shouldest oppress,{H6231} That thou shouldest despise{H3988} the work{H3018} of thy hands,{H3709} And shine{H3313} upon the counsel{H6098} of the wicked?{H7563}

Hast thou eyes{H5869} of flesh?{H1320} Or seest{H7200} thou as man{H582} seeth?{H7200}

Are thy days{H3117} as the days{H3117} of man,{H582} Or thy years{H8141} as man's{H1397} days,{H3117}

That thou inquirest{H1245} after mine iniquity,{H5771} And searchest{H1875} after my sin,{H2403}

Although thou knowest{H1847} that I am not wicked,{H7561} And there is none that can deliver{H5337} out of thy hand?{H3027}

Thy hands{H3027} have framed{H6087} me and fashioned{H6213} me Together{H3162} round about;{H5439} yet thou dost destroy{H1104} me.

Remember,{H2142} I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned{H6213} me as clay;{H2563} And wilt thou bring{H7725} me into dust{H6083} again?{H7725}

Hast thou not poured me out{H5413} as milk,{H2461} And curdled{H7087} me like cheese?{H1385}

Thou hast clothed{H3847} me with skin{H5785} and flesh,{H1320} And knit{H7753} me together with bones{H6106} and sinews.{H1517}

Thou hast granted{H6213} me life{H2416} and lovingkindness;{H2617} And thy visitation{H6486} hath preserved{H8104} my spirit.{H7307}

Yet these things thou didst hide{H6845} in thy heart;{H3824} I know{H3045} that this is with thee:

If I sin,{H2398} then thou markest{H8104} me, And thou wilt not acquit{H5352} me from mine iniquity.{H5771}

If I be wicked,{H7561} woe{H480} unto me; And if I be righteous,{H6663} yet shall I not lift up{H5375} my head;{H7218} Being filled{H7649} with ignominy,{H7036} And looking{H7202} upon mine affliction.{H6040}

And if [my head] exalt{H1342} itself, thou huntest{H6679} me as a lion;{H7826} And again{H7725} thou showest thyself marvellous{H6381} upon me.

Thou renewest{H2318} thy witnesses{H5707} against me, And increasest{H7235} thine indignation{H3708} upon me:{H5978} Changes{H2487} and warfare{H6635} are with me.

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth{H3318} out of the womb?{H7358} I had given up the ghost,{H1478} and no eye{H5869} had seen{H7200} me.

I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried{H2986} from the womb{H990} to the grave.{H6913}

Are not my days{H3117} few?{H4592} cease{H2308} then, And let me alone,{H7896} that I may take comfort{H1082} a little,{H4592}

Before I go{H3212} whence I shall not return,{H7725} [Even] to the land{H776} of darkness{H2822} and of the shadow of death;{H6757}

The land{H776} dark{H5890} as midnight,{H652} [The land] of the shadow of death,{H6757} without any order,{H5468} And where the light{H3313} is as midnight.{H652}
