10:1 "I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 10:2 I will say to God, Do not condemn me; let me know why you contend against me. 10:3 Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favor the designs of the wicked 10:4 Have you eyes of flesh Do you see as man sees 10:5 Are your days as the days of man, or your years as a man's years, 10:6 that you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin, 10:7 although you know that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of your hand 10:8 Your hands fashioned and made me, and now you have destroyed me altogether. 10:9 Remember that you have made me like clay; and will you return me to the dust 10:10 Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese 10:11 You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews. 10:12 You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit. 10:13 Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this was your purpose. 10:14 If I sin, you watch me and do not acquit me of my iniquity. 10:15 If I am guilty, woe to me! If I am in the right, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look on my affliction. 10:16 And were my head lifted up, you would hunt me like a lion and again work wonders against me. 10:17 You renew your witnesses against me and increase your vexation toward me; you bring fresh troops against me. 10:18 "Why did you bring me out from the womb Would that I had died before any eye had seen me 10:19 and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave. 10:20 Are not my days few Then cease, and leave me alone, that I may find a little cheer 10:21 before I go--and I shall not return-- to the land of darkness and deep shadow, 10:22 the land of gloom like thick darkness, like deep shadow without any order, where light is as thick darkness."
