1. My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2. I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; show me why you contend with me.
3. Is it good unto you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile upon the counsel of the wicked?
4. Have you eyes of flesh? or see you as man sees?
5. Are your days as the days of man? are your years as man's days,
6. That you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7. You know that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of your hand.
8. Your hands have made me and fashioned me together totally; yet you do destroy me.
