2. I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me;tell me why you are contending with me.’
3. Is it good for you to oppress,to despise the work of your hands,while you smileon the schemes of the wicked?
4. “Do you have eyes of flesh,or do you see as a human being sees?
5. Are your days like the days of a mortal,or your years like the years of a mortal,
6. that you must search out my iniquity,and inquire about my sin,
7. although you know that I am not guilty,and that there is no one who can deliver out of your hand?
8. “Your hands have shaped me and made me,but now you destroy me completely.
9. Remember that you have made me as with the clay;will you return me to dust?
10. Did you not pour me out like milk,and curdle me like cheese?
11. You clothed me with skin and fleshand knit me together with bones and sinews.
12. You gave me life and favor,and your intervention watched over my spirit.
