1. I loathe my life.I will give myself up to complaint;I will speak from the bitterness of my soul.
2. I will say to God: Do not put me in the wrong!Let me know why you oppose me.
3. Is it a pleasure for you to oppress,to spurn the work of your hands,and shine on the plan of the wicked?
4. Have you eyes of flesh?Do you see as mortals see?
5. Are your days like the days of a mortal,and are your years like a human lifetime,
6. That you seek for guilt in meand search after my sins,
7. Even though you know that I am not wicked,and that none can deliver me out of your hand?
8. Your hands have formed me and fashioned me;will you then turn and destroy me?
9. Oh, remember that you fashioned me from clay!Will you then bring me down to dust again?
