My soulH5315 is wearyH5354 of my lifeH2416; I will leaveH5800 my complaintH7879 upon myself; I will speakH1696 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315. {weary…: or, cut off while I live}
I will sayH559 unto GodH433, Do not condemnH7561 me; shewH3045 me wherefore thou contendestH7378 with me.
Is it goodH2895 unto thee that thou shouldest oppressH6231, that thou shouldest despiseH3988 the workH3018 of thine handsH3709, and shineH3313 upon the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563? {work: Heb. labour}
Hast thou eyesH5869 of fleshH1320? or seestH7200 thou as manH582 seethH7200?
Are thy daysH3117 as the daysH3117 of manH582? are thy yearsH8141 as man'sH1397 daysH3117,
That thou enquirestH1245 after mine iniquityH5771, and searchestH1875 after my sinH2403?
Thou knowestH1847 that I am not wickedH7561; and there is none that can deliverH5337 out of thine handH3027. {Thou…: Heb. It is upon thy knowledge}
Thine handsH3027 have madeH6087 me and fashionedH6213 me togetherH3162 round aboutH5439; yet thou dost destroyH1104 me. {have…: Heb. took pains about me}
RememberH2142, I beseech thee, that thou hast madeH6213 me as the clayH2563; and wilt thou bringH7725 me into dustH6083 againH7725?
Hast thou not poured me outH5413 as milkH2461, and curdledH7087 me like cheeseH1385?
Thou hast clothedH3847 me with skinH5785 and fleshH1320, and hast fencedH7753 me with bonesH6106 and sinewsH1517. {fenced: Heb. hedged}
Thou hast grantedH6213 me lifeH2416 and favourH2617, and thy visitationH6486 hath preservedH8104 my spiritH7307.
And these things hast thou hidH6845 in thine heartH3824: I knowH3045 that this is with thee.
If I sinH2398, then thou markestH8104 me, and thou wilt not acquitH5352 me from mine iniquityH5771.
If I be wickedH7561, woeH480 unto me; and if I be righteousH6663, yet will I not lift upH5375 my headH7218. I am fullH7649 of confusionH7036; therefore seeH7202+H7200 thou mine afflictionH6040;
For it increasethH1342. Thou huntestH6679 me as a fierce lionH7826: and againH7725 thou shewest thyself marvellousH6381 upon me.
Thou renewestH2318 thy witnessesH5707 against me, and increasestH7235 thine indignationH3708 upon meH5978; changesH2487 and warH6635 are against me. {witnesses: that is, thy plagues}
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forthH3318 out of the wombH7358? Oh that I had given up the ghostH1478, and no eyeH5869 had seenH7200 me!
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carriedH2986 from the wombH990 to the graveH6913.
Are not my daysH3117 fewH4592? ceaseH2308+H2308 then, and let me aloneH7896+H7896, that I may take comfortH1082 a littleH4592,
Before I goH3212 whence I shall not returnH7725, even to the landH776 of darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757;
A landH776 of darknessH5890, as darknessH652 itself; and of the shadow of deathH6757, without any orderH5468, and where the lightH3313 is as darknessH652.

And thou hast filled me with wrinklesH7059, which is a witnessH5707 against me: and my leannessH3585 rising upH6965 in me beareth witnessH6030 to my faceH6440.
GodH410 shall hearH8085, and afflictH6030 them, even he that abidethH3427 of oldH6924. SelahH5542. Because they have no changesH2487, therefore they fearH3372 not GodH430. {Because…: or, With whom also there be no changes, yet they}
GodH410 hath deliveredH5462 me to the ungodlyH5760, and turned me overH3399 into the handsH3027 of the wickedH7563. {hath…: Heb. hath shut me up}
I was at easeH7961, but he hath broken me asunderH6565: he hath also takenH270 me by my neckH6203, and shaken me to piecesH6327, and set me upH6965 for his markH4307.
His archersH7228 compass me round aboutH5437, he cleavethH6398 my reinsH3629 asunderH6398, and doth not spareH2550; he poureth outH8210 my gallH4845 upon the groundH776.
He breakethH6555 me with breachH6556 uponH6440 breachH6556, he runnethH7323 upon me like a giantH1368.
I have sewedH8609 sackclothH8242 upon my skinH1539, and defiledH5953 my hornH7161 in the dustH6083.
My faceH6440 is foulH2560 with weepingH1065, and on my eyelidsH6079 is the shadow of deathH6757;
I went outH1980 fullH4392, and the LORDH3068 hath brought me home againH7725 emptyH7387: why then callH7121 ye me NaomiH5281, seeing the LORDH3068 hath testifiedH6030 against me, and the AlmightyH7706 hath afflictedH7489 me?
MoabH4124 hath been at easeH7599 from his youthH5271, and he hath settledH8252 on his leesH8105, and hath not been emptiedH7324 from vesselH3627 to vesselH3627, neither hath he goneH1980 into captivityH1473: therefore his tasteH2940 remainedH5975 in him, and his scentH7381 is not changedH4171. {remained: Heb. stood}
KnowH3045 nowH645 that GodH433 hath overthrownH5791 me, and hath compassedH5362 me with his netH4686.
Behold, I cry outH6817 of wrongH2555, but I am not heardH6030: I cry aloudH7768, but there is no judgmentH4941. {wrong: or, violence}
He hath fenced upH1443 my wayH734 that I cannot passH5674, and he hath setH7760 darknessH2822 in my pathsH5410.
He hath strippedH6584 me of my gloryH3519, and takenH5493 the crownH5850 from my headH7218.
He hath destroyedH5422 me on every sideH5439, and I am goneH3212: and mine hopeH8615 hath he removedH5265 like a treeH6086.
He hath also kindledH2734 his wrathH639 against me, and he countethH2803 me unto him as one of his enemiesH6862.
And it shall come to pass at that timeH6256, that I will searchH2664 JerusalemH3389 with candlesH5216, and punishH6485 the menH582 that are settledH7087 on their leesH8105: that sayH559 in their heartH3824, The LORDH3068 will not do goodH3190, neither will he do evilH7489. {settled: Heb. curded, or, thickened}
