2. I say to God: Do not declare me guilty, but tell me what charges you have against me.
3. Does it please you to oppress me, to spurn the work of your hands, while you smile on the plans of the wicked?
4. Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees?
5. Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a strong man,
6. that you must search out my faults and probe after my sin—
7. though you know that I am not guilty and that no one can rescue me from your hand?
8. “Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me?
9. Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?
10. Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese,
11. clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews?
12. You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.
