11 “Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;
|

12. Am I a sea, or a sea serpent,

That You set a guard over me?
|
||||
|

My couch will ease my complaint,'

|
||||
14. Then You scare me with dreams

13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
|
||||
My couch will ease my complaint,’
|
||||
14 Then You scare me with dreams
|
||||
And terrify me with visions,
|

|
||||
16 I loathe my life;
|
||||
I would not live forever.

Let me alone,
|
||||
For my days are but a breath.

That You should set Your heart on him,
|
||||
|
||||

21 Why then do You not pardon my transgression,
|
||||
And take away my iniquity?

|
||||
But I will no longer be."
