I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. 12Am I the sea, or a sea monster,
that you set a guard over me? 13When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
my couch will ease my complaint,’ 14then you scare me with dreams
and terrify me with visions, 15so that I would choose strangling
and death rather than my bones. 16I loathe my life; I would not live forever.
Leave me alone, for my days are a breath. 17What is man, that you make so much of him,
and that you set your heart on him, 18visit him every morning
and test him every moment? 19How long will you not look away from me,
nor leave me alone till I swallow my spit? 20If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of mankind?
Why have you made me your mark?
Why have I become a burden to you? 21Why do you not pardon my transgression
and take away my iniquity?
For now I shall lie in the earth;
you will seek me, but I shall not be.” Read this passage at the publisher: Read in NIV · Read in ESV
