1Does not every mortal have hard service on earth, and are not his days like those of a hired labourer,
2like those of a slave longing for the shade or a servant kept waiting for his wages?
3So months of futility are my portion, troubled nights are my lot.
4When I lie down, I think, “When will it be day, that I may rise?” But the night drags on, and I do nothing but toss till dawn.
5My body is infested with worms, and scabs cover my skin; it is cracked and discharging.
6My days pass more swiftly than a weaver's shuttle and come to an end as the thread of life runs out.
7Remember that my life is but a breath of wind; I shall never again see good times.
8The eye that now sees me will behold me no more; under your very eyes I shall vanish.
9As a cloud breaks up and disperses, so no one who goes down to Sheol ever comes back;
10he never returns to his house, and his abode knows him no more.
11But I cannot hold my peace; I shall speak out in my anguish of spirit and complain in my bitterness of soul.
12Am I the monster of the deep, am I the sea serpent, that you set a watch over me?
13When I think that my bed will comfort me, that sleep will relieve my complaint,
14you terrify me with dreams and affright me through visions.
15I would rather be choked outright; death would be better than these sufferings of mine.
16I am in despair, I have no desire to live; let me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17What is man, that you make much of him and turn your thoughts towards him,
18only to punish him morning after morning or to test him every hour of the day?
19Will you not look away from me for an instant, leave me long enough to swallow my spittle?
20If I have sinned, what harm can I do you, you watcher of the human heart? Why have you made me your target? Why have I become a burden to you?
21Why do you not pardon my offence and take away my guilt? For soon I shall lie in the dust of the grave; you may seek me, but I shall be no more.
