1I am disgusted with my life. Jb 7:16; 9:21; Ps 95:10; 119:158; 139:21; Ezk 6:9; 20:43; 36:31

I will express my complaint

and speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2I will say to God:

“Do not declare me guilty!

Let me know why You prosecute me.

3Is it good for You to oppress,

to reject the work of Your hands, Ps 128:2

and favor Lit shine on the plans of the wicked? Ps 1:1; Jb 21:16; 22:18

4Do You have eyes of flesh,

or do You see as a human sees?

5Are Your days like those of a human,

or Your years like those of a man, Jb 36:26; Ps 90:4; 2Pt 3:8

6that You look for my wrongdoing Jb 13:23,26; 14:17; 22:5

and search for my sin,

7even though You know that I am not wicked

and that there is no one who can deliver from Your hand? Dt 32:39; Is 43:13

8“Your hands shaped me and formed me. Gn 2:7,8,19; Ps 34:15; 94:9; Is 29:16; 43:1,7,21; 44:2,21,24; 45:9,11; 49:5; 64:8; Jr 1:5; 18:6; Zch 12:1

Will You now turn and destroy me?

9Please remember that You formed me like clay.

Will You now return me to dust? Gn 2:7; Jb 4:19; 34:15

10Did You not pour me out like milk

and curdle me like cheese?

11You clothed me with skin and flesh,

and wove me together with bones and tendons. Ps 139:13

12You gave me life and faithful love,

and Your care has guarded my life.

13“Yet You concealed these thoughts in Your heart;

I know that this was Your hidden plan: Lit was with You

14if I sin, You would notice, Lit notice me

and would not acquit me of my wrongdoing. Ex 34:7; Jb 7:21; Am 3:2

15If I am wicked, woe to me!

And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.

I am filled with shame Hab 2:16

and aware of my affliction. Jb 9:15; Ps 25:18; Is 3:11

16If I am proud, Lit If he lifts up You hunt me like a lion

and again display Your miraculous power against me. Jb 5:9; Is 38:13; Lm 3:10

17You produce new witnesses Or You bring fresh troops against me

and multiply Your anger toward me.

Hardships assault me, wave after wave. Lit Changes and a host are with me

18“Why did You bring me out of the womb? Jb 1:21; 10:18-19; Jr 20:17-18

I should have died and never been seen.

19I wish Lit As if I had never existed

but had been carried from the womb to the grave. Jb 3: 22; 5:26; 17:1

20Are my days not few? Stop it! Alt Hb tradition reads Will He not leave my few days alone?

Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little

21before I go to a land of darkness and gloom, Jb 3:5;12:22; 28:3

never to return.

22It is a land of blackness like the deepest darkness,

gloomy and chaotic,

where even the light is like Lit chaotic, and shines as the darkness.”
