M<\/span>y soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.<\/span><\/p>\n 2<\/sup>I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.<\/span> <\/p>\n
