1 I am weary of my life; I will complain without restraint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2 I will say to God, 'Do not condemn me; tell me why you are contending with me.'

3 Is it good for you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands, while you smile on the schemes of the wicked?

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

5 Are your days like the days of a mortal, or your years like the years of a mortal,

6 that you must search out my iniquity, and inquire about my sin,

7 although you know that I am not guilty, and that there is no one who can deliver out of your hand?

8 Your hands have shaped me and made me, but now you destroy me completely.

9 Remember that you have made me as with the clay; will you return me to dust?
