1. My soul is weary of my life: I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2. I will say unto +God Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou strivest with me.
3. Doth it please thee to oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4. Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5. Are thy days as the days of a mortal? are thy years as a man's days,
6. That thou searchest after mine iniquity, and inquirest into my sin;
7. Since thou knowest that I am not wicked, and that there is none that delivereth out of thy hand?
8. Thy hands have bound me together and made me as one, round about; yet dost thou swallow me up!
