1 “I loathe my own life; I will give full vent to my complaint; I will 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. 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? 4 ‘Have You eyes of flesh? Or do You see as a man sees? 5 ‘Are Your days as the days of a mortal, Or Your years as man’s years, 6 That You should seek for my guilt And search after my sin? 7 ‘According to Your knowledge I am indeed not guilty, Yet there is no deliverance from Your hand. 8 ‘Your hands fashioned and made me altogether, And would You destroy me? 9 ‘Remember now, that You have made me as clay; And would You turn me into dust again?
