Text

1	“I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2	I will say to God, Do not condemn me; let me know why you contend against me.
3	Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favor the designs of the wicked?
4	Have you eyes of flesh? Do you see as man sees?
5	Are your days as the days of man, or your years as a man's years,
6	that you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin,
7	although you know that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of your hand?
8	Your hands fashioned and made me, and now you have destroyed me altogether.
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 and curdle me like cheese?
11	You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
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; I know that this was your purpose.
14	If I sin, you watch me and do not acquit me of my iniquity.
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 and again work wonders 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, carried from the womb to the grave.
20	Are not my days few? Then cease, and leave me alone, that I may find a little cheer
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, like deep shadow without any order, where light is as thick darkness.“

NIV

1	“I loathe my very life; therefore I will give free rein to my complaint and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.
2	I will say to God: Do not condemn me, but tell me what charges you have against me.
3	Does it please you to oppress me, to spurn the work of your hands, while you smile on the schemes of the wicked?
4	Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees?
5	Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a man,
6	that you must search out my faults and probe after my sin-
7	though you know that I am not guilty and that no one can rescue me from your hand?
8	“Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me?
9	Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?
10	Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese,
11	clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews?
12	You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.
13	“But this is what you concealed in your heart, and I know that this was in your mind:
14	If I sinned, you would be watching me and would not let my offense go unpunished.
15	If I am guilty-woe to me! Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head, for I am full of shame and drowned in my affliction.
16	If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion and again display your awesome power against me.
17	You bring new witnesses against me and increase your anger toward me; your forces come against me wave upon wave.
18	“Why then did you bring me out of the womb? I wish I had died before any eye saw me.
19	If only I had never come into being, or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!
20	Are not my few days almost over? Turn away from me so I can have a moment's joy
21	before I go to the place of no return, to the land of gloom and deep shadow,
22	to the land of deepest night, of deep shadow and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.“

NLT

1	“I am disgusted with my life. Let me complain freely. My bitter soul must complain.
2	I will say to God, 'Don't simply condemn me– tell me the charge you are bringing against me.
3	What do you gain by oppressing me? Why do you reject me, the work of your own hands, while smiling on the schemes of the wicked?
4	Are your eyes like those of a human? Do you see things only as people see them?
5	Is your lifetime only as long as ours? Is your life so short
6	that you must quickly probe for my guilt and search for my sin?
7	Although you know I am not guilty, no one can rescue me from your hands.
8	“ 'You formed me with your hands; you made me, yet now you completely destroy me.
9	Remember that you made me from dust– will you turn me back to dust so soon?
10	You guided my conception and formed me in the womb.
11	You clothed me with skin and flesh, and you knit my bones and sinews together.
12	You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love. My life was preserved by your care.
13	“ 'Yet your real motive– your true intent–
14	was to watch me, and if I sinned, you would not forgive my guilt.
15	If I am guilty, too bad for me; and even if I'm innocent, I can't hold my head high, because I am filled with shame and misery.
16	And if I hold my head high, you hunt me like a lion and display your awesome power against me.
17	Again and again you witness against me. You pour out your growing anger on me and bring fresh armies against me.
18	“ 'Why, then, did you deliver me from my mother's womb? Why didn't you let me die at birth?
19	It would be as though I had never existed, going directly from the womb to the grave.
20	I have only a few days left, so leave me alone, that I may have a moment of comfort
21	before I leave– never to return– for the land of darkness and utter gloom.
22	It is a land as dark as midnight, a land of gloom and confusion, where even the light is dark as midnight.'“

KJV

1	My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2	I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
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?
4	Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5	Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
6	That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7	Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
8	Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
9	Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10	Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11	Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12	Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13	And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
14	If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
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;
16	For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
17	Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
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!
19	I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20	Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21	Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22	A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
