10:1 My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
10:2 I will say to God, Do not condemn me; Show me why you contend with me. 10:3 Is it good to you that you should oppress, That you should despise the work of your hands, And shine on the counsel of the wicked? 10:4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as common man sees? 10:5 Are your days as the days of common man, Or your years as the days of [noble] man, 10:6 That you inquire after my iniquity, And search after my sin, 10:7 Although you know that I am not wicked, And there is none who can deliver out of your hand? 10:8 Your hands have framed me and fashioned me, Together round about; yet you destroy me. 10:9 Remember, I urge you, that you have fashioned me as clay; And will you bring me into dust again? 10:10 Have you not poured me out as milk, And curdled me like cheese? 10:11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews. 10:12 You have granted me life and loving-kindness; And your visitation has preserved my spirit. 10:13 Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this is with you: 10:14 If I sin, then you mark me, And you will not acquit me from my iniquity. 10:15 If I am wicked, woe to me; And if I am righteous, yet I will not lift up my head, Filled with shame and drunk with my affliction. 10:16 And if [my head] exalts itself, you hunt me as a lion; And again you show yourself marvelous on me. 10:17 You renew your witnesses against me, And increase your indignation on me: Changes and warfare are with me. 10:18 Why then have you brought me forth out of the womb? I should have given up the ghost, and no eye would have seen me. 10:19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. 10:20 Are not my days few? Let him stop. Let him turn away from me, that I may take comfort a little, 10:21 Before I go from where I will not return, [Even] to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death; 10:22 The land dark as midnight, [The land] of the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as midnight. |
