1. My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2. I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
3. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine 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 man, or thy years as man's days,
6. That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin,
7. Although thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand?
8. Thine hands have framed me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
9. Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10. Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
