10:1 My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 10:2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; Show me wherefore thou contendest with me. 10:3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, That thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, And shine upon the counsel of the wicked 10:4 Hast thou eyes of flesh Or seest thou as man seeth 10:5 Are thy days as the days of man, Or thy years as man's days, 10:6 That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, And searchest after my sin, 10:7 Although thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand 10:8 Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. 10:9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; And wilt thou bring me into dust again 10:10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, And curdled me like cheese 10:11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews. 10:12 Thou hast granted me life and lovingkindness; And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. 10:13 Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is with thee: 10:14 If I sin, then thou markest me, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. 10:15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction. 10:16 And if [my head] exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me. 10:17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me. 10:18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me. 10:19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. 10:20 Are not my days few cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, 10:21 Before I go whence I shall not return, [Even] to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death; 10:22 The land dark as midnight, [The land] of the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as midnight.
