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.

I have sinnedH2398; what shall I doH6466 unto thee, O thou preserverH5341 of menH120? why hast thou setH7760 me as a markH4645 against thee, so that I am a burdenH4853 to myself?
Even that it would pleaseH2974 GodH433 to destroyH1792 me; that he would let looseH5425 his handH3027, and cut me offH1214!
And why dost thou not pardonH5375 my transgressionH6588, and take awayH5674 mine iniquityH5771? for now shall I sleepH7901 in the dustH6083; and thou shalt seek me in the morningH7836, but I shall not be.
Will he pleadH7378 againstH5978 me with his greatH7230 powerH3581? No; but he would putH7760 strength in me.

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}

For thou writestH3789 bitter thingsH4846 against me, and makest me to possessH3423 the iniquitiesH5771 of my youthH5271.
Thou puttestH7760 my feetH7272 also in the stocksH5465, and lookest narrowlyH8104 unto all my pathsH734; thou settest a printH2707 upon the heelsH8328 of my feetH7272. {lookest…: Heb. observest} {heels: Heb. roots}

He tearethH2963 me in his wrathH639, who hatethH7852 me: he gnashethH2786 upon me with his teethH8127; mine enemyH6862 sharpenethH3913 his eyesH5869 upon me.
They have gapedH6473 upon me with their mouthH6310; they have smittenH5221 me upon the cheekH3895 reproachfullyH2781; they have gatheredH4390 themselves togetherH3162 against me.
GodH410 hath deliveredH5462 me to the ungodlyH5760, and turned me overH3399 into the handsH3027 of the wickedH7563. {hath…: Heb. hath shut me up}

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.
