2 I will say to God, 'Don't condemn me! Tell me why you are contending with me.

3 Does it make you happy to trouble me? Don't you care about me, the work of your hands? Are you happy with the plans of evil people?

4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as humans see?

5 Are your days like the days of humans, and your years like our years?

5 Are your days like the days of mortals? Are your years like human years,

6 You look for the evil I have done and search for my sin.

6 that you have to seek my guilt and search out my sin?

7 You know I am not guilty, but no one can save me from your power.

7 You know that I won't be condemned, yet no one can rescue me from your power.

8 "Your hands shaped and made me. Do you now turn around and destroy me?

9 Remember that you molded me like a piece of clay. Will you now turn me back into dust?

10 Didn't you pour me out like milk, then let me thicken like cheese?

11 You dressed me with skin and flesh; you sewed me together with bones and muscles.

11 You clothed me with skin and flesh you knit me together with bones and sinews.

12 You granted me life and grace; your careful attention preserved my spirit.

13 "But in your heart you hid other plans. I know this was in your mind.

13 "'Yet you hid these things in your heart; I know what your secret purpose was -

14 If I sinned, you would watch me and would not let my sin go unpunished.

14 to watch until I would sin and then not absolve me of my guilt.

15 How terrible it will be for me if I am guilty! Even if I am right, I cannot lift my head. I am full of shame and experience only pain.

15 If I am wicked, woe to me! -but if righteous, I still don't dare raise my head, because I am so filled with shame, so soaked in my misery.

16 If I hold up my head, you hunt me like a lion and again show your terrible power against me.

16 You rise up to hunt me like a lion, and you keep treating me in such peculiar ways.

17 You bring new witnesses against me and increase your anger against me. Your armies come against me.

17 You keep producing fresh witnesses against me, your anger against me keeps growing, your troops assail me, wave after wave.

18 "'Why did you bring me out of the womb? I wish I had died there where no eye could see me.

19 I wish I had never lived, but had been carried straight from birth to the grave.

19 I would have been as if I had never existed, I would have been carried from womb to grave.

20 The few days of my life are almost over. Leave me alone so I can have a moment of joy.

20 Aren't my days few? So stop! Leave me alone, so I can cheer up a little

21 Soon I will leave; I will not return from the land of darkness and gloom,

21 before I go to the place of no return, to the land of darkness and death-dark gloom,

22 the land of darkest night, from the land of gloom and confusion, where even the light is darkness."

22 a land of gloom like darkness itself, of dense darkness and utter disorder, where even the light is dark.'"
