But now they that are youngerH6810+H3117 than I have me in derisionH7832, whose fathersH1 I would have disdainedH3988 to have setH7896 with the dogsH3611 of my flockH6629. {younger…: Heb. of fewer days than I}
Yea, wheretoH4100 might the strengthH3581 of their handsH3027 profit me, in whom old ageH3624 was perishedH6?
For wantH2639 and famineH3720 they were solitaryH1565; fleeingH6207 into the wildernessH6723 in former timeH570 desolateH7722 and wasteH4875. {solitary: or, dark as the night} {in…: Heb. yesternight}
Who cut upH6998 mallowsH4408 by the bushesH7880, and juniperH7574 rootsH8328 for their meatH3899.
They were driven forthH1644 from amongH1460 men, (they criedH7321 after them as after a thiefH1590;)
To dwellH7931 in the cliftsH6178 of the valleysH5158, in cavesH2356 of the earthH6083, and in the rocksH3710. {caves: Heb. holes}
Among the bushesH7880 they brayedH5101; under the nettlesH2738 they were gathered togetherH5596.
They were childrenH1121 of foolsH5036, yea, childrenH1121 of base menH8034: they were vilerH5217 than the earthH776. {base…: Heb. men of no name}
And now am I their songH5058, yea, I am their bywordH4405.
They abhorH8581 me, they flee farH7368 from me, and spareH2820 not to spitH7536 in my faceH6440. {and…: Heb. and withhold not spittle from}
Because he hath loosedH6605 my cordH3499, and afflictedH6031 me, they have also let looseH7971 the bridleH7448 beforeH6440 me.
Upon my rightH3225 hand riseH6965 the youthH6526; they push awayH7971 my feetH7272, and they raise upH5549 against me the waysH734 of their destructionH343.
They marH5420 my pathH5410, they set forwardH3276 my calamityH1942+H1962, they have no helperH5826.
They cameH857 upon me as a wideH7342 breakingH6556 in of waters: inH8478 the desolationH7722 they rolledH1556 themselves upon me.
TerrorsH1091 are turnedH2015 upon me: they pursueH7291 my soulH5082 as the windH7307: and my welfareH3444 passeth awayH5674 as a cloudH5645. {my soul: Heb. my principal one}
And now my soulH5315 is poured outH8210 upon me; the daysH3117 of afflictionH6040 have taken holdH270 upon me.
My bonesH6106 are piercedH5365 in me in the night seasonH3915: and my sinewsH6207 take no restH7901.
By the greatH7230 forceH3581 of my disease is my garmentH3830 changedH2664: it bindeth me aboutH247 as the collarH6310 of my coatH3801.
He hath castH3384 me into the mireH2563, and I am become likeH4911 dustH6083 and ashesH665.
I cryH7768 unto thee, and thou dost not hearH6030 me: I stand upH5975, and thou regardestH995 me not.
Thou art becomeH2015 cruelH393 to me: with thy strongH6108 handH3027 thou opposestH7852 thyself against me. {become…: Heb. turned to be cruel} {thy…: Heb. the strength of thy hand}
Thou liftest me upH5375 to the windH7307; thou causest me to rideH7392 upon it, and dissolvestH4127 my substanceH8454+H7738. {substance: or, wisdom}
For I knowH3045 that thou wilt bringH7725 me to deathH4194, and to the houseH1004 appointedH4150 for all livingH2416.
Howbeit he will not stretch outH7971 his handH3027 to the graveH1164, though they cryH7769 in his destructionH6365. {grave: Heb. heap}
Did not I weepH1058 for him that was in troubleH7186+H3117? was not my soulH5315 grievedH5701 for the poorH34? {in trouble: Heb. hard of day?}
When I lookedH6960 for goodH2896, then evilH7451 cameH935 unto me: and when I waitedH3176 for lightH216, there cameH935 darknessH652.
My bowelsH4578 boiledH7570, and restedH1826 not: the daysH3117 of afflictionH6040 preventedH6923 me.
I wentH1980 mourningH6937 without the sunH2535: I stood upH6965, and I criedH7768 in the congregationH6951.
I am a brotherH251 to dragonsH8577, and a companionH7453 to owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: or, ostriches}
My skinH5785 is blackH7835 upon me, and my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787 with heatH2721.
My harpH3658 also is turned to mourningH60, and my organH5748 into the voiceH6963 of them that weepH1058.

He is chastenedH3198 also with painH4341 upon his bedH4904, and the multitudeH7230+H7379 of his bonesH6106 with strongH386 pain:
So that his lifeH2416 abhorrethH2092 breadH3899, and his soulH5315 daintyH8378 meatH3978. {dainty…: Heb. meat of desire}
His fleshH1320 is consumed awayH3615, that it cannot be seenH7210; and his bonesH6106 that were not seenH7200 stick outH8192+H8205.
When I lie downH7901, I sayH559, When shall I ariseH6965, and the nightH6153 be goneH4059? and I am fullH7646 of tossings to and froH5076 unto the dawning of the dayH5399. {the night…: Heb. the evening be measured?}
Have mercyH2603 upon me, O LORDH3068; for I am weakH536: O LORDH3068, healH7495 me; for my bonesH6106 are vexedH926.
My soulH5315 is also soreH3966 vexedH926: but thou, O LORDH3068, how long?
ReturnH7725, O LORDH3068, deliverH2502 my soulH5315: oh saveH3467 me for thy mercies'H2617 sake.
For in deathH4194 there is no remembranceH2143 of thee: in the graveH7585 who shall give thee thanksH3034?
I am wearyH3021 with my groaningH585; all the nightH3915 make I my bedH4296 to swimH7811; I waterH4529 my couchH6210 with my tearsH1832. {all…: or, every night}
O my GodH430, I cryH7121 in the daytimeH3119, but thou hearestH6030 not; and in the night seasonH3915, and am not silentH1747. {am…: Heb. there is no silence to me}
For thine arrowsH2671 stick fastH5181 in me, and thy handH3027 presseth me soreH5181.
There is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320 becauseH6440 of thine angerH2195; neither is there any restH7965 in my bonesH6106 becauseH6440 of my sinH2403. {rest: Heb. peace, or, health}
For mine iniquitiesH5771 are gone overH5674 mine headH7218: as an heavyH3515 burdenH4853 they are too heavyH3513 for me.
My woundsH2250 stinkH887 and are corruptH4743 becauseH6440 of my foolishnessH200.
I am troubledH5753; I am bowed downH7817 greatlyH3966; I goH1980 mourningH6937 all the dayH3117 long. {troubled: Heb. wried}
