\c 10
|

\m
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 I am weary of my life;
|
|
\q I will give free expression to my complaint;
|
|
\q I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 I will say to God, 'Do not merely condemn me;
|
|
\q show me why you accuse me.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Is it good to you that you should oppress me,
|
|
\q to despise the work of your hands
|
|
\q while you smile on the plans of the wicked?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Do you have eyes of flesh?
|
|
\q Do you see like a man sees?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Are your days like the days of mankind
|
|
\q or your years like the years of people,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 that you inquire after my iniquity
|
|
\q and search after my sin,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 although you know I am not guilty
|
|
\q and there is no one who can rescue me from your hand?
|
|
\m
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Your hands have framed and fashioned me
|
|
\q together round about, yet you are destroying me.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Call to mind, I beg you, that you have fashioned me like clay;
|
|
\q will you bring me into dust again?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Have you not poured me out like milk
|
|
\q and curdled me like cheese?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh
|
|
\q and knit me together with bones and sinews.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 You have granted me life and covenant faithfulness;
|
|
\q your help has guarded my spirit.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Yet these things you hid in your heart—
|
|
\q I know that this is what you were thinking:
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 that if I sinned, you would notice it;
|
|
\q you would not acquit me of my iniquity.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 If I am wicked, woe to me;
|
|
\q even if I were righteous, I could not lift up my head,
|
|
\q since I am filled with disgrace
|
|
\q and am looking at my own suffering.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 If my head lifts itself, you hunt me down like a lion;
|
|
\q once again you show yourself powerful to me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 You bring new witnesses against me
|
|
\q and increase your anger against me;
|
|
\q you attack me with fresh armies.
|
|
\m
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb?
|
|
\q I wish I had given up my spirit and that no eye had ever seen me.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 I would have been as though I had never existed;
|
|
\q I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 Are not my days only a few? Stop then,
|
|
\q let me alone, so that I may have a little rest
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 before I go from where I will not return,
|
|
\q to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 the land that is as dark as midnight,
|
|
\q the land of the shadow of death, without any order,
|
|
\q where the light is like midnight.'"
