If I sinned, you would be watching me. You wouldn’t let me go without punishing me.If I were guilty, how terrible that would be for me! Even if I haven’t sinned, I can’t be proud of what I’ve done. That’s because I’m so full of shame. I’m drowning in my suffering.If I become proud, you hunt me down like a lion. You show your mighty power against me.You bring new witnesses against me. You become more and more angry with me. You use your power against me again and again.

God is angry with me. He attacks me and tears me up. He grinds his teeth at me. He stares at me as if he were my enemy.People make fun of me. They slap my face and laugh at me. All of them join together against me.God has turned me over to sinful people. He has handed me over to them.Everything was going well with me. But he broke me into pieces like a clay pot. He grabbed me by the neck and crushed me. He has taken aim at me.He shoots his arrows at me from all sides. Without pity, he stabs me in the kidneys. He spills my insides on the ground.He smashes through me as if I were a wall. He rushes at me like a fighting man.

Your arm is powerful. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is mighty.

I wish he would crush me! I wish he would just cut off my life!

All those who were going to help you have forgotten you. They do not care about you. I have struck you as if I were your enemy. I have punished you as if I were very mean. That is because your guilt is so great. You have sinned so much.

I’m already like a leaf that is blown by the wind. Are you going to terrify me even more? I’m already like dry straw. Are you going to keep on chasing me?You write down bitter things against me. You make me suffer for the sins I committed when I was young.You put my feet in chains. You watch every step I take. You do it by putting marks on the bottom of my feet.“ People waste away like something that is rotten. They are like clothes that are eaten by moths.

Then I want you to know that God hasn’t treated me right. In fact, he has captured me in his net.“ I cry out,‘ Someone harmed me!’ But I don’t get any reply. I call out for help. But I’m not treated fairly.God has blocked my way, and I can’t get through. He has made my paths so dark I can’t see where I’m going.He has taken my wealth away from me. He has stripped me of my honor.

“ Will the Lord turn away from us forever? Won’t he ever show us his kindness again?Has his faithful love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed for all time?Has God forgotten to help us? Has he held back his tender love because he was angry?”

Would he strongly oppose me? No. He wouldn’t bring charges against me.

Why do you chase after me as he does? Aren’t you satisfied with what you have done to me already?

Does it make you happy when you crush me? Does it please you to turn your back on what you have made? While you do those things, you smile on the plans of sinful people!

So make yourselves humble. Put yourselves under God’s mighty hand. Then he will honor you at the right time.

If I’ve really sinned, tell me what I’ve done to you. You see everything we do. Why do you shoot your arrows at me? Have I become a problem to you?Why don’t you forgive the wrong things I’ve done? Why don’t you forgive me for my sins? I’ll soon lie down in the dust of my grave. You will search for me. But I’ll be gone.”
