1. I am disgusted with my life. I will express my complaint and speak in the bitterness of my soul.
|
1. My soul H5315 is weary H5354 of my life H2416 ; I will leave H5800 my complaint H7879 upon H5921 myself ; I will speak H1696 in the bitterness H4751 of my soul H5315 .
|
|
2. I will say to God: Do not declare me guilty! Let me know why You prosecute me.
|
2. I will say H559 unto H413 God H433 , Do not H408 condemn H7561 me; show H3045 me wherefore H5921 H4100 thou contendest H7378 with me.
|
|
3. Is it good for You to oppress, to reject the work of Your hands, and favor the plans of the wicked?
|
3. Is it good H2896 unto thee that H3588 thou shouldest oppress H6231 , that H3588 thou shouldest despise H3988 the work H3018 of thine hands H3709 , and shine H3313 upon H5921 the counsel H6098 of the wicked H7563 ?
|
|
4. Do You have eyes of flesh, or do You see as a human sees?
|
4. Hast thou eyes H5869 of flesh H1320 ? or H518 seest H7200 thou as man H582 seeth H7200 ?
|
|
5. Are Your days like those of a human, or Your years like those of a man,
|
5. Are thy days H3117 as the days H3117 of man H582 ? are thy years H8141 as man H1397 's days H3117 ,
|
|
6. that You look for my wrongdoing and search for my sin,
|
6. That H3588 thou inquirest H1245 after mine iniquity H5771 , and searchest H1875 after my sin H2403 ?
|
|
7. even though You know that I am not wicked and that there is no one who can deliver from Your hand?
|
7. Thou knowest H1847 that H3588 I am not H3808 wicked H7561 ; and there is none H369 that can deliver H5337 out of thine hand H4480 H3027 .
|
|
8. Your hands shaped me and formed me. Will You now turn around and destroy me?
|
8. Thine hands H3027 have made H6087 me and fashioned H6213 me together H3162 round about H5439 ; yet thou dost destroy H1104 me.
|
|
9. Please remember that You formed me like clay. Will You now return me to dust?
|
9. Remember H2142 , I beseech thee H4994 , that H3588 thou hast made H6213 me as the clay H2563 ; and wilt thou bring me into dust again H7725 H413 H6083 ?
|
|
10. Did You not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?
|
10. Hast thou not H3808 poured me out H5413 as milk H2461 , and curdled H7087 me like cheese H1385 ?

|
|
12. You gave me life and faithful love, and Your care has guarded my life.
|
12. Thou hast granted H6213 H5978 me life H2416 and favor H2617 , and thy visitation H6486 hath preserved H8104 my spirit H7307 .
|
|
13. Yet You concealed these thoughts in Your heart; I know that this was Your hidden plan:
|
13. And these H428 things hast thou hid H6845 in thine heart H3824 : I know H3045 that H3588 this H2063 is with H5973 thee.
|
|
14. if I sin, You would notice, and would not acquit me of my wrongdoing.
|
14. If H518 I sin H2398 , then thou markest H8104 me , and thou wilt not H3808 acquit H5352 me from mine iniquity H4480 H5771 .
|
|
15. If I am wicked, woe to me! And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head. I am filled with shame and aware of my affliction.
|
15. If H518 I be wicked H7561 , woe H480 unto me ; and if I be righteous H6663 , yet will I not H3808 lift up H5375 my head H7218 . I am full H7649 of confusion H7036 ; therefore see H7200 thou mine affliction H6040 ;
|
|
16. If I am proud, You hunt me like a lion and again display Your miraculous power against me.
|
16. For it increaseth H1342 . Thou huntest H6679 me as a fierce lion H7826 : and again H7725 thou showest thyself marvelous H6381 upon me.
|
|
17. You produce new witnesses against me and multiply Your anger toward me. Hardships assault me, wave after wave.
|
17. Thou renewest H2318 thy witnesses H5707 against H5048 me , and increasest H7235 thine indignation H3708 upon H5973 me; changes H2487 and war H6635 are against H5973 me.
|
|
18. Why did You bring me out of the womb? I should have died and never been seen.
|
18. Wherefore H4100 then hast thou brought me forth H3318 out of the womb H4480 H7358 ? Oh that I had given up the ghost H1478 , and no H3808 eye H5869 had seen H7200 me!
|
|
19. I wish I had never existed but had been carried from the womb to the grave.
|
19. I should have been H1961 as though H834 I had not H3808 been H1961 ; I should have been carried H2986 from the womb H4480 H990 to the grave H6913 .
|
|
20. Are my days not few? Stop it! Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little
|
20. Are not H3808 my days H3117 few H4592 ? cease H2308 then, and let me alone H7896 H4480 , that I may take comfort H1082 a little H4592 ,
|
|
21. before I go to a land of darkness and gloom, never to return.
|
21. Before H2962 I go H1980 whence I shall not H3808 return H7725 , even to H413 the land H776 of darkness H2822 and the shadow of death H6757 ;
|
|
22. It is a land of blackness like the deepest darkness, gloomy and chaotic, where even the light is like the darkness.
|
22. A land H776 of darkness H5890 , as H3644 darkness H652 itself; and of the shadow of death H6757 , without H3808 any order H5468 , and where the light H3313 is as H3644 darkness H652 .
