1"I loathe my own life; I will give full vent to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.1“I loathe my own life; I will express my complaint and speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2"I will say to God, 'Do not condemn me; Let me know why You contend with me.2I will say to God: Do not condemn me! Let me know why You prosecute me.
3'Is it right for You indeed to oppress, To reject the labor of Your hands, And to look favorably on the schemes of the wicked?3Does it please You to oppress me, to reject the work of Your hands and favor the schemes of the wicked?
4'Have You eyes of flesh? Or do You see as a man sees?4Do You have eyes of flesh? Do You see as man sees?
5'Are Your days as the days of a mortal, Or Your years as man's years,5Are Your days like those of a mortal, or Your years like those of a man,
6That You should seek for my guilt And search after my sin?6that You should seek my iniquity and search out my sin—
7'According to Your knowledge I am indeed not guilty, Yet there is no deliverance from Your hand.7though You know that I am not guilty, and there is no deliverance from Your hand?
8'Your hands fashioned and made me altogether, And would You destroy me?8Your hands shaped me and altogether formed me. Would You now turn and destroy me?
9'Remember now, that You have made me as clay; And would You turn me into dust again?9Please remember that You molded me like clay. Would You now return me to dust?
10'Did You not pour me out like milk And curdle me like cheese;10Did You not pour me out like milk, and curdle me like cheese?
11Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews?11You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12'You have granted me life and lovingkindness; And Your care has preserved my spirit.12You have granted me life and loving devotion, and Your care has preserved my spirit.
13'Yet these things You have concealed in Your heart; I know that this is within You:13Yet You concealed these things in Your heart, and I know that this was in Your mind:
14If I sin, then You would take note of me, And would not acquit me of my guilt.14If I sinned, You would take note, and would not acquit me of my iniquity.
15If I am wicked, woe to me! And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head. I am sated with disgrace and conscious of my misery.15If I am guilty, woe to me! And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift my head. I am full of shame and aware of my affliction.
16Should my head be lifted up, You would hunt me like a lion; And again You would show Your power against me.16Should I hold my head high, You would hunt me like a lion, and again display Your power against me.
17'You renew Your witnesses against me And increase Your anger toward me; Hardship after hardship is with me.17You produce new witnesses against me and multiply Your anger toward me. Hardships assault me in wave after wave.
18'Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Would that I had died and no eye had seen me!18Why then did You bring me from the womb? Oh, that I had died, and no eye had seen me!
19'I should have been as though I had not been, Carried from womb to tomb.'19If only I had never come to be, but had been carried from the womb to the grave.
20"Would He not let my few days alone? Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer20Are my days not few? Withdraw from me, that I may have a little comfort,
21Before I go-- and I shall not return-- To the land of darkness and deep shadow,21before I go—never to return—to a land of darkness and gloom,
22The land of utter gloom as darkness itself, Of deep shadow without order, And which shines as the darkness."22to a land of utter darkness, of deep shadow and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”
