\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 1 Is there not hard labor for every person on earth?
|
|
|
|
|
\q Are not his days like the days of a hired man?
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 Like a slave earnestly desires the shadows of evening,
|
|
|
|
|
\q like a hired man looks for his wages—
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 so I have been made to endure months of misery;
|
|
|
|
|
\q I have been given trouble-filled nights.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 4 When I lie down, I say to myself,
|
|
|
|
|
\q 'When will I get up and when will the night be gone?'
|
|
|
|
|
\q I am full of tossing to and fro until the day's dawning.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust;
|
|
|
|
|
\q the sores in my skin harden up and then dissolve and run afresh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle;
|
|
|
|
|
\q they pass without hope.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 7 God, call to mind that my life is only a breath;
|
|
|
|
|
\q my eye will no more see good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 8 The eye of God, who sees me, will see me no more;
|
|
|
|
|
\q God's eyes will be on me, but I will not exist.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 9 As a cloud is consumed and vanishes away,
|
|
|
|
|
\q so he who goes down to sheol will come up no more.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 10 He will return no more to his house;
|
|
|
|
|
\q neither will his place know him again.

|

|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 11 Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;
|
|
|
|
|
\q I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
|
|
|
|
|
\q I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 12 Am I the sea or a sea monster
|
|
|
|
|
\q that you place a guard over me?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 13 When I say, 'My bed will comfort me,
|
|
|
|
|
\q and my couch will ease my complaint,'
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 14 then you scare me with dreams
|
|
|
|
|
\q and terrify me through visions,
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 15 so that I would choose strangling
|
|
|
|
|
\q and death rather than preserving these bones of mine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 16 I loathe my life; I would not wish to always be alive;
|
|
|
|
|
\q let me alone for my days are useless.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 17 What is man that you should pay attention to him,
|
|
|
|
|
\q that you should set your mind on him,
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 18 that you should observe him every morning
|
|
|
|
|
\q and test him every moment?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 19 How long will it be before you look away from me,
|
|
|
|
|
\q before you let me alone long enough for me to swallow down my own saliva?
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 20 Even if I have sinned, what would that do to you, you who watch men?
|
|
|
|
|
\q Why have you made a target of me,
|
|
|
|
|
\q so that I am a burden for you?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 21 Why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity?
|
|
|
|
|
\q For now will I lie down in the dust;
|
|
|
|
|
\q you will seek me carefully, but I will not exist."
