15 Therefore my soule chuseth rather to be strangled and to die, then to be in my bones. 16 I abhorre it, I shall not liue alway: spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie. 17 What is man, that thou doest magnifie him, and that thou settest thine heart vpon him? 18 And doest visite him euery morning, and tryest him euery moment? 19 Howe long will it be yer thou depart from me? thou wilt not let me alone whiles I may swallowe my spettle. 20 I haue sinned, what shal I do vnto thee? O thou preseruer of me, why hast thou set me as a marke against thee, so that I am a burden vnto my selfe? 21 And why doest thou not pardon my trespasse? and take away mine iniquitie? for nowe shall I sleepe in the dust, and if thou seekest me in the morning, I shall not be found.
