17. “What is man, that You should exalt him,That You should set Your heart on him,
18. That You should visit him every morning,And test him every moment?
19. How long?Will You not look away from me,And let me alone till I swallow my saliva?
20. Have I sinned?What have I done to You, O watcher of men?Why have You set me as Your target,So that I am a burden to myself?
21. Why then do You not pardon my transgression,And take away my iniquity?For now I will lie down in the dust,And You will seek me diligently,But I will no longer be.”
