¹ H5315 My soul H5354 is weary [H8804]   H2416 of my life H5800 ; I will leave [H8799]   H7879 my complaint H1696 upon myself; I will speak [H8762]   H4751 in the bitterness H5315 of my soul.

² H559 I will say [H8799]   H433 unto God H7561 , Do not condemn [H8686]   H3045 me; shew [H8685]   H7378 me wherefore thou contendest [H8799]   with me.

³ H2895 Is it good [H8804]   H6231 unto thee that thou shouldest oppress [H8799]   H3988 , that thou shouldest despise [H8799]   H3018 the work H3709 of thine hands H3313 , and shine [H8689]   H6098 upon the counsel H7563 of the wicked?

⁴ H5869 Hast thou eyes H1320 of flesh H7200 ? or seest [H8799]   H582 thou as man H7200 seeth [H8800]  ?

⁵ H3117 Are thy days H3117 as the days H582 of man H8141 ? are thy years H1397 as man's H3117 days,

⁶ H1245 That thou enquirest [H8762]   H5771 after mine iniquity H1875 , and searchest [H8799]   H2403 after my sin?

⁷ H1847 Thou knowest H7561 that I am not wicked [H8799]   H5337 ; and there is none that can deliver [H8688]   H3027 out of thine hand.

⁸ H3027 Thine hands H6087 have made [H8765]   H6213 me and fashioned [H8799]   H3162 me together H5439 round about H1104 ; yet thou dost destroy [H8762]   me.

⁹ H2142 Remember [H8798]   H6213 , I beseech thee, that thou hast made [H8804]   H2563 me as the clay H7725 ; and wilt thou bring H6083 me into dust H7725 again [H8686]  ?

¹⁰ H5413 Hast thou not poured me out [H8686]   H2461 as milk H7087 , and curdled [H8686]   H1385 me like cheese?

¹¹ H3847 Thou hast clothed [H8686]   H5785 me with skin H1320 and flesh H7753 , and hast fenced [H8787]   H6106 me with bones H1517 and sinews.

¹² H6213 Thou hast granted [H8804]   H2416 me life H2617 and favour H6486 , and thy visitation H8104 hath preserved [H8804]   H7307 my spirit.

¹³ H6845 And these things hast thou hid [H8804]   H3824 in thine heart H3045 : I know [H8804]   that this is with thee.

¹⁴ H2398 If I sin [H8804]   H8104 , then thou markest [H8804]   H5352 me, and thou wilt not acquit [H8762]   H5771 me from mine iniquity.

¹⁵ H7561 If I be wicked [H8804]   H480 , woe H6663 unto me; and if I be righteous [H8804]   H5375 , yet will I not lift up [H8799]   H7218 my head H7649 . I am full H7036 of confusion H7202 ; therefore see [H8798]   [H8676]   H7200   [H8798]   H6040 thou mine affliction;

¹⁶ H1342 For it increaseth [H8799]   H6679 . Thou huntest [H8799]   H7826 me as a fierce lion H7725 : and again [H8799]   H6381 thou shewest thyself marvellous [H8691]   upon me.

¹⁷ H2318 Thou renewest [H8762]   H5707 thy witnesses H7235 against me, and increasest [H8686]   H3708 thine indignation H5978 upon me H2487 ; changes H6635 and war are against me.

¹⁸ H3318 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth [H8689]   H7358 out of the womb H1478 ? Oh that I had given up the ghost [H8799]   H5869 , and no eye H7200 had seen [H8799]   me!

¹⁹ H2986 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried [H8714]   H990 from the womb H6913 to the grave.

²⁰ H3117 Are not my days H4592 few H2308 ? cease [H8798]   [H8675]   H2308   [H8799]   H7896 then, and let me alone [H8798]   [H8675]   H7896   [H8799]   H1082 , that I may take comfort [H8686]   H4592 a little,

²¹ H3212 Before I go [H8799]   H7725 whence I shall not return [H8799]   H776 , even to the land H2822 of darkness H6757 and the shadow of death;

²² H776 A land H5890 of darkness H652 , as darkness H6757 itself; and of the shadow of death H5468 , without any order H3313 , and where the light [H8686]   H652 is as darkness.
