1. “My soul loathes my life;I will give free course to my complaint,I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2. I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me;Show me why You contend with me.
3. Does it seem good to You that You should oppress,That You should despise the work of Your hands,And smile on the counsel of the wicked?
4. Do You have eyes of flesh?Or do You see as man sees?
5. Are Your days like the days of a mortal man?Are Your years like the days of a mighty man,
6. That You should seek for my iniquityAnd search out my sin,
7. Although You know that I am not wicked,And there is no one who can deliver from Your hand?
