1<\/sup>My soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why thou judgest me so.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Doth it seem good to thee that thou shouldst calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of thy own hands, and help the counsel of the wicked?<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Hast thou eyes of flesh: or, shalt thou see as man seeth?<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of men:<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>That thou shouldst inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me wholly round about, and dost thou thus cast me down headlong on a sudden?<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and thou wilt bring me into dust again.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Hast thou not milked me as milk, and curdled me like cheese?<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh: thou hast put me together with bones and sinews:<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that thou rememberest all things.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>If I have sinned and thou hast spared me for an hour: why dost thou not suffer me to be clean from my iniquity?<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>And if I be wicked, woe unto me: and if just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with affliction and misery.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>And for pride thou wilt take me as a lioness, and returning thou tormentest me wonderfully.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and multipliest thy wrath upon me, and pains war against me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>Why didst thou bring me forth out of the womb: O that I had been consumed that eye might not see me!<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>I should have been as if I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little:<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>Before I go, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death:<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth.<\/span> <\/p>\n
