1. My soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2. I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why thou judgest me so.
3. Doth it seem good to thee that thou shouldst calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of thy own hands, and help the counsel of the wicked?
4. Hast thou eyes of flesh: or, shalt thou see as man seeth?
5. Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of men:
6. That thou shouldst inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
