16. My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is the tzalmavet;
17. Not for any chamas in mine hands; also my tefillah is pure.
18. O earth, cover not thou my dahm, and let my outcry have no makom (place of rest).
19. Also now, hinei, my Ed is in Shomayim, and my Sahed (witness, one who vouches for me) is on high [MJ 4:15].
20. My friends scorn me; but mine eye poureth out tears unto Eloah.
21. O that one might plead for a man with Eloah, as a man pleadeth for his neighbor!
22. When a few shanot are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
