1 My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.

3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

4 Hast thou eyes of flesh, or seest thou as man seeth?

5 Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man's days,

6 That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin,

7 Although thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand?

8 Thine hands have framed me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
