10:1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave
my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
10:2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
10:3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the
work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
10:4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as
man seeth?
10:5 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy
years as man's days,
10:6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity,
and searchest after my sin?
10:7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and
there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
10:8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy
me.
10:9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me
into dust again?
10:10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and
curdled me like cheese?
10:11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and
flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
10:12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
10:13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
10:14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
10:15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head.
I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
10:16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a
fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
10:17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me;
changes and war are against me.
10:18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up
the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
10:19 I should have been as though I had not
been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
10:20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may
take comfort a little,
10:21 Before I go whence I shall not return,
even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
10:22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself;
and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
