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?
10. Did you not pour me out like milk,and thicken me like cheese?
11. With skin and flesh you clothed me,with bones and sinews knit me together.
12. Life and love you granted me,and your providence has preserved my spirit.
13. Yet these things you have hidden in your heart;I know they are your purpose:
14. If I should sin, you would keep a watch on me,and from my guilt you would not absolve me.
15. If I should be wicked, alas for me!even if righteous, I dare not hold up my head,sated with shame, drenched in affliction!
