3. Doth it please thee to oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4. Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5. Are thy days as the days of a mortal? are thy years as a man's days,
6. That thou searchest after mine iniquity, and inquirest into my sin;
7. Since thou knowest that I am not wicked, and that there is none that delivereth out of thy hand?
8. Thy hands have bound me together and made me as one, round about; yet dost thou swallow me up!
9. Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as clay, and wilt bring me into dust again.
10. Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11. Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews;
12. Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy care hath preserved my spirit;
13. And these things didst thou hide in thy heart; I know that this was with thee.
14. If I sinned, thou wouldest mark me, and thou wouldest not acquit me of mine iniquity.
15. If I were wicked, woe unto me! and righteous, I will not lift up my head, being so full of shame, and beholding mine affliction; --
16. And it increaseth: thou huntest me as a fierce lion; and ever again thou shewest thy marvellous power upon me.
