I
said in the cutting
off of my
days, I shall
go to the
gates of the
grave: I am
deprived of the
residue of my
years.

I
said, I shall not
see the
LORD, even the
LORD, in the
land of the
living: I shall
behold man no more with the
inhabitants of the
world.

Mine
age is
departed, and is
removed from me as a
shepherd's tent: I have cut
off like a
weaver my
life: he will cut me
off with pining
sickness: from
day even to
night wilt thou make an
end of me.

I
reckoned till
morning, that, as a
lion, so will he
break all my
bones: from
day even to
night wilt thou make an
end of me.

Like a
crane or a
swallow, so did I
chatter: I did
mourn as a
dove: mine
eyes fail with looking
upward: O
LORD, I am
oppressed; undertake for me.

What shall I
say? he hath both
spoken unto me, and himself hath
done it: I shall go
softly all my
years in the
bitterness of my
soul.

O
Lord, by these things men
live, and in all these things is the
life of my
spirit: so wilt thou
recover me, and make me to
live.

Behold, for
peace I had great
bitterness*: but thou hast in
love to my
soul delivered it from the
pit of
corruption: for thou hast
cast all my
sins behind thy
back.

For the

praise thee,
death can not
celebrate thee: they that go
down into the

hope for thy
truth.
