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.

The eyeH5869 of him that hath seenH7210 me shall seeH7789 me no more: thine eyesH5869 are upon me, and I am not. {I am…: that is, I can live no longer}
As the cloudH6051 is consumedH3615 and vanisheth awayH3212: so he that goeth downH3381 to the graveH7585 shall come upH5927 no more.
He shall returnH7725 no more to his houseH1004, neither shall his placeH4725 knowH5234 him any more.
Let darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757 stainH1350 it; let a cloudH6053 dwellH7931 upon it; let the blacknessH3650 of the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 it. {stain: or, challenge} {let the…: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day}

But manH1397 diethH4191, and wasteth awayH2522: yea, manH120 giveth up the ghostH1478, and where is he? {wasteth…: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off}
As the watersH4325 failH235 from the seaH3220, and the floodH5104 decayethH2717 and drieth upH3001:
So manH376 lieth downH7901, and risethH6965 not: till the heavensH8064 be no moreH1115, they shall not awakeH6974, nor be raised outH5782 of their sleepH8142.
O thatH5414 thou wouldest hideH6845 me in the graveH7585, that thou wouldest keep me secretH5641, until thy wrathH639 be pastH7725, that thou wouldest appointH7896 me a set timeH2706, and rememberH2142 me!
If a manH1397 dieH4191, shall he liveH2421 again? all the daysH3117 of my appointed timeH6635 will I waitH3176, till my changeH2487 comeH935.
Yea, though I walkH3212 through the valleyH1516 of the shadow of deathH6757, I will fearH3372 no evilH7451: for thou art with me; thy rodH7626 and thy staffH4938 they comfortH5162 me.
But now he is deadH4191, wherefore should I fastH6684? canH3201 I bring him back againH7725? I shall goH1980 to him, but he shall not returnH7725 to me.
Shall thy lovingkindnessH2617 be declaredH5608 in the graveH6913? or thy faithfulnessH530 in destructionH11?
Neither saidH559 they, Where is the LORDH3068 that brought us upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that ledH3212 us through the wildernessH4057, through a landH776 of desertsH6160 and of pitsH7745, through a landH776 of droughtH6723, and of the shadow of deathH6757, through a landH776 that no manH376 passed throughH5674, and where no manH120 dweltH3427?
For we must needsH4191 dieH4191, and are as waterH4325 spiltH5064 on the groundH776, which cannot be gathered up againH622; neither doth GodH430 respectH5375 any personH5315: yet doth he deviseH2803 meansH4284, that his banishedH5080 be not expelledH5080 from him. {neither…: or, because God hath not taken away his life, he hath also devised means, etc}
