| 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 you contend against me.
|
| 10:3 |
Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favor the schemes of the wicked?
|
| 10:4 |
Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as humans see?
|
| 10:5 |
Are your days like the days of mortals, or your years like human years,
|
| 10:6 |
that you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin,
|
| 10:7 |
although you know that I am not guilty, and there is no one to deliver out of your hand?
|
| 10:8 |
Your hands fashioned and made me; and now you turn and destroy me.
|
| 10:9 |
Remember that you fashioned me like clay; and will you turn me to dust again?
|
| 10:10 |
Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?
|
| 10:11 |
You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
|
| 10:12 |
You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit.
|
| 10:13 |
Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this was your purpose.
|
| 10:14 |
If I sin, you watch me, and do 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 |
Bold as a lion you hunt me; you repeat your exploits against me.
|
| 10:17 |
You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your vexation toward me; you bring fresh troops against me.
|
| 10:18 |
"Why did you 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, never to return, to the land of gloom and deep darkness,
|
| 10:22 |
the land of gloom and chaos, where light is like darkness."
