Christian Standard Bible

International Standard Version

1I am disgusted with my life. I will give vent to my complaint and speak in the bitterness of my soul.

1"I am disgusted with living, so I'm going to talk about my complaint freely. I'll speak out from the bitterness of my soul.

2I will say to God, "Do not declare me guilty! Let me know why you prosecute me.

2I'll say to God, 'Don't condemn me! Let me know why you are fighting me.

3Is it good for you to oppress, to reject the work of your hands, and favor the plans of the wicked?

3Does it delight you to oppress or despise what you have made, while you smile at the plans of the wicked?

4Do you have eyes of flesh, or do you see as a human sees?

4Do you have eyes made of flesh? Can you look at things as humans do?

5Are your days like those of a human, or your years like those of a man,

5Can you live only as long as a human being? Or live the years of a mortal man?

6that you look for my iniquity and search for my sin,

6"'For you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin.

7even though you know that I am not wicked and that there is no one who can rescue from your power?

7Although you know that I'm not guilty, there's no one to deliver me from you!

8"Your hands shaped me and formed me. Will you now turn and destroy me?

8Your hands formed and fashioned me, but then you have destroyed me all at once on all sides.

9Please remember that you formed me like clay. Will you now return me to dust?

9"'Please remember that you've made me like clay and you'll return me to dust.

10Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?

10Didn't you pour me out like milk and let me congeal like cheese?

11You clothed me with skin and flesh, and wove me together with bones and tendons.

11You covered me with skin and flesh, weaving me together with bones and sinews.

12You gave me life and faithful love, and your care has guarded my life.

12You gave life and gracious love to me; your providential care has preserved my spirit.

13"Yet you concealed these thoughts in your heart; I know that this was your hidden plan:

13But you've hidden these things in your heart— I know this was your purpose:

14if I sin, you would notice, and would not acquit me of my iniquity.

14If I sin, you watch me and won't acquit me for my iniquity.

15If I am wicked, woe to me! And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head. I am filled with shame and have drunk deeply of my affliction.

15"'Woe to me if I'm guilty! If I'm innocent, I cannot lift my head, because I am filled with disgrace. Look at my affliction!

16If I am proud, you hunt me like a lion and again display your miraculous power against me.

16But if I do lift up my head, you will hunt me like a lion! You will perform miracles in order to fight against me.

17You produce new witnesses against me and multiply your anger toward me. Hardships assault me, wave after wave.

17"'You have brought new witnesses against me, you're even more angry with me— you've brought fresh troops to attack me!

18"Why did you bring me out of the womb? I should have died and never been seen.

18So why did you bring me out from the womb? I wish I had died, before anyone had seen me,

19I wish I had never existed but had been carried from the womb to the grave.

19as if I had never existed; carried from the womb to the grave.

20Are my days not few? Stop it! Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little

20My days are so few, aren't they? So leave me alone, then, so I can smile a little

21before I go to a land of darkness and gloom, never to return.

21before I go, never to return, leaving for the land of deep darkness and shadow.

22It is a land of blackness like the deepest darkness, gloomy and chaotic, where even the light is like the darkness."

22It's a gloomy land, like deepest darkness; where there's no order, and where even the brightness is like darkness.'"
