|
||||
to despise the work of your hands
|
||||
and favor the designs of the wicked?
|

and search for my sin,
|
||||
|
||||
7. although you know that I am not guilty,
|
||||
7 although you know that I am not guilty,

8. Your hands fashioned and made me,
|
||||
8 Your hands fashioned and made me,
|
||||
and now you have destroyed me altogether.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Remember that you have made me like clay;
|
||||
9 Remember that you have made me like clay;
|
||||
and will you return me to the dust?
|
||||
|
||||
10. Did you not pour me out like milk
|

10 Did you not pour me out like milk
|
||||
and curdle me like cheese?
|
||||
|
||||
11. You clothed me with skin and flesh,

|
||||
12. You have granted me life and steadfast love,
|
||||
12 You have granted me life and steadfast love,
|
||||
and your care has preserved my spirit.
|

|

13. Yet these things you hid in your heart;

13 Yet these things you hid in your heart;
|
||||
I know that this was your purpose.
|

|

15. If I am guilty, woe to me!
|
||||
15 If I am guilty, woe to me!
|
||||
If I am in the right, I cannot lift up my head,
|
||||
for I am filled with disgrace
|
||||
and look on my affliction.
|
||||
|
||||
16. And were my head lifted up, you would hunt me like a lion
|
||||
16 And were my head lifted up, you would hunt me like a lion
|
||||
and again work wonders against me.
|
||||
|
||||
17. You renew your witnesses against me
|
||||
17 You renew your witnesses against me
|
||||
and increase your vexation toward me;
|
||||
you bring fresh troops against me.
|
||||
|
||||
18. "Why did you bring me out from the womb?
|
||||
|
||||
Would that I had died before any eye had seen me
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
19. and were as though I had not been,
|
||||
18 “Why did you bring me out from the womb?
|
||||
Would that I had died before any eye had seen me
|
||||
19 and were as though I had not been,
|

|
||||
21 before I go—and I shall not return—
|

to the land of darkness and deep shadow,
|
||||
|
||||
22. the land of gloom like thick darkness,
|
||||
22 the land of gloom like thick darkness,
|
||||
like deep shadow without any order,
|
||||
where light is as thick darkness."
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
where light is as thick darkness.”
