1 MY soul is weary of my life; I have reasoned in my judgment; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2 I will say to God. Do not condemn me; show me why thou dost contend with me.

3 Is it not enough to thee that thou shouldst oppress, that thou shouldst despise the work of thy hands, and regard the counsel of the wicked?

4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? Or seest thou as a man sees?

5 Are thy days as the days of men? Are thy years as man's days?

6 That thou enquirest after my iniquity, and searchest after my sins?

7 Thou knowest that I am innocent; and there is none that can deliver himself out of thy hands.

8 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: and afterward thou wishest to condemn me, and to destroy me.

9 Remember that thou hast made me as clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
