| 10:1 |
My soul hath been weary of my life, I leave off my talking to myself, I speak in the bitterness of my soul.
|
| 10:2 |
I say unto God, `Do not condemn me, Let me know why Thou dost strive [with] me.
|
| 10:3 |
Is it good for Thee that Thou dost oppress? That Thou despisest the labour of Thy hands, And on the counsel of the wicked hast shone?
|
| 10:4 |
Eyes of flesh hast Thou? As man seeth -- seest Thou?
|
| 10:5 |
As the days of man [are] Thy days? Thy years as the days of a man?
|
| 10:6 |
That Thou inquirest for mine iniquity, And for my sin seekest?
|
| 10:7 |
For Thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is no deliverer from Thy hand.
|
| 10:8 |
Thy hands have taken pains about me, And they make me together round about, And Thou swallowest me up!
|
| 10:9 |
Remember, I pray Thee, That as clay Thou hast made me, And unto dust Thou dost bring me back.
|
| 10:10 |
Dost Thou not as milk pour me out? And as cheese curdle me?
|
| 10:11 |
Skin and flesh Thou dost put on me, And with bones and sinews dost fence me.
|
| 10:12 |
Life and kindness Thou hast done with me. And Thy inspection hath preserved my spirit.
|
| 10:13 |
And these Thou hast laid up in Thy heart, I have known that this [is] with Thee.
|
| 10:14 |
If I sinned, then Thou hast observed me, And from mine iniquity dost not acquit me,
|
| 10:15 |
If I have done wickedly -- wo to me, And righteously -- I lift not up my head, Full of shame -- then see my affliction,
|
| 10:16 |
And it riseth -- as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou turnest back -- Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me.
|
| 10:17 |
Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare [are] with me.
|
| 10:18 |
And why from the womb Hast Thou brought me forth? I expire, and the eye doth not see me.
|
| 10:19 |
As I had not been, I am, From the belly to the grave I am brought,
|
| 10:20 |
Are not my days few? Cease then, and put from me, And I brighten up a little,
|
| 10:21 |
Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and death-shade,
|
| 10:22 |
A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade -- and no order, And the shining [is] as thick darkness.'
