| 10:1 |
'I loathe my life;I will give free utterance to my complaint;I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
|
| 10:2 |
I will say to God, Do not condemn me;let me know why thou dost contend against me.
|
| 10:3 |
Does it seem good to thee to oppress, to despise the work of thy hands and favor the designs of the wicked?
|
| 10:4 |
Hast thou eyes of flesh? Dost thou see as man sees?
|
| 10:5 |
Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man's years,
|
| 10:6 |
that thou dost seek out my iniquity and search for my sin,
|
| 10:7 |
although thou knowest that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of thy hand?
|
| 10:8 |
Thy hands fashioned and made me;and now thou dost turn about and destroy me.
|
| 10:9 |
Remember that thou hast made me of clay;and wilt thou turn me to dust again?
|
| 10:10 |
Didst thou not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?
|
| 10:11 |
Thou didst clothe me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
|
| 10:12 |
Thou hast granted me life and steadfast love;and thy care has preserved my spirit.
|
| 10:13 |
Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart;I know that this was thy purpose.
|
| 10:14 |
If I sin, thou dost mark me, and dost not acquit me of my iniquity.
|
| 10:15 |
If I am wicked, woe to me! If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look upon my affliction.
|
| 10:16 |
And if I lift myself up, thou dost hunt me like a lion, and again work wonders against me;
|
| 10:17 |
thou dost renew thy witnesses against me, and increase thy vexation toward me;thou dost bring fresh hosts against me.
|
| 10:18 |
'Why didst thou bring me forth from the womb? Would that I had died before any eye had seen me,
|
| 10:19 |
and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.
|
| 10:20 |
Are not the days of my life few? Let me alone, that I may find a little comfort
|
| 10:21 |
before I go whence I shall not return, to the land of gloom and deep darkness,
|
| 10:22 |
the land of gloom and chaos, where light is as darkness.'
