10. As cheese is made from milk,you created my bodyfrom a tiny drop.
11. Then you tied my bones togetherwith muscles and covered themwith flesh and skin.
12. You, the source of my life,showered me with kindnessand watched over me.
13. You have not explainedall your mysteries,
14. but you catch and punish meeach time I sin.
15. Guilty or innocent,I am condemned and ashamedbecause of my troubles.
16. No matter how hard I try,you keep hunting me downlike a powerful lion.
17. You never stop accusing me;you become furious and attackover and over again.
18. Why did you let me be born?I would rather have diedbefore birth
19. and been carried to the gravewithout ever breathing.
20. I have only a few days left.Why don't you leave me alone?Let me find some relief,
21-22. before I travel to the landof darkness and despair,the place of no return.
