1. My soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2. I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why thou judgest me so.
3. Doth it seem good to thee that thou shouldst calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of thy own hands, and help the counsel of the wicked?
4. Hast thou eyes of flesh: or, shalt thou see as man seeth?
5. Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of men:
6. That thou shouldst inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7. And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand.
8. Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me wholly round about, and dost thou thus cast me down headlong on a sudden?
9. Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and thou wilt bring me into dust again.
10. Hast thou not milked me as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
