1. My soul hath been weary of my life, I leave off my talking to myself, I speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2. I say unto God, `Do not condemn me, Let me know why Thou dost strive [with] me.
3. Is it good for Thee that Thou dost oppress? That Thou despisest the labour of Thy hands, And on the counsel of the wicked hast shone?
4. Eyes of flesh hast Thou? As man seeth--seest Thou?
5. As the days of man [are] Thy days? Thy years as the days of a man?
