Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:

So that my soul chooseth strangling, {and} death rather than my life. {life: Heb. bones}

I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

I loathe {it}; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days {are} vanity.

{As} the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no {more}.

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

And {that} thou shouldest visit him every morning, {and} try him every moment?

He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I {shall} not {be}.

As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for {the reward of} his work: {earnestly...: Heb. gapeth after}

What {is} man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. {the night...: Heb. the evening be measured?}

{Is there} not an appointed time to man upon earth? {are not} his days also like the days of an hireling? {an appointed...: or, a warfare}

{Am} I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

O remember that my life {is} wind: mine eye shall no more see good. {shall...: Heb. shall not return} {see: to see, that is, to enjoy}

The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no {more}: thine eyes {are} upon me, and I {am} not. {I am...: that is, I can live no longer}

How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
