1 # Is there not an appointed time <06635> to man <0582> upon earth <0776>? are not his days <03117> also like the days <03117> of an hireling <07916>?
2 As a servant <05650> earnestly desireth <07602> (8799) the shadow <06738>, and as an hireling <07916> looketh <06960> (8762) for the reward of his work <06467>:
3 So am I made to possess <05157> (8717) months <03391> of vanity <07723>, and wearisome <05999> nights <03915> are appointed <04487> (8765) to me.
4 When I lie down <07901> (8804), I say <0559> (8804), When shall I arise <06965> (8799), and the night <06153> be gone <04059>? and I am full <07646> (8804) of tossings to and fro <05076> unto the dawning of the day <05399>.
5 My flesh <01320> is clothed <03847> (8804) with worms <07415> and clods <01487> of dust <06083>; my skin <05785> is broken <07280> (8804), and become loathsome <03988> (8735).
6 My days <03117> are swifter <07043> (8804) than a weaver's shuttle <0708>, and are spent <03615> (8799) without <0657> hope <08615>.
7 # O remember <02142> (8798) that my life <02416> is wind <07307>: mine eye <05869> shall no more <07725> (8799) see <07200> (8800) good <02896>.
8 The eye <05869> of him that hath seen <07210> me shall see <07789> (8799) me no more: thine eyes <05869> are upon me, and I am not.
9 As the cloud <06051> is consumed <03615> (8804) and vanisheth away <03212> (8799): so he that goeth down <03381> (8802) to the grave <07585> shall come up <05927> (8799) no more.
10 He shall return <07725> (8799) no more to his house <01004>, neither shall his place <04725> know <05234> (8686) him any more.
11 Therefore I will not refrain <02820> (8799) my mouth <06310>; I will speak <01696> (8762) in the anguish <06862> of my spirit <07307>; I will complain <07878> (8799) in the bitterness <04751> of my soul <05315>.
12 Am I a sea <03220>, or a whale <08577>, that thou settest <07760> (8799) a watch <04929> over me?
13 When I say <0559> (8804), My bed <06210> shall comfort <05162> (8762) me, my couch <04904> shall ease <05375> (8799) my complaint <07879>;
14 Then thou scarest <02865> (8765) me with dreams <02472>, and terrifiest <01204> (8762) me through visions <02384>:
15 So that my soul <05315> chooseth <0977> (8799) strangling <04267>, and death <04194> rather than my life <06106>.
16 I loathe <03988> (8804) it; I would not live <02421> (8799) alway <05769>: let me alone <02308> (8798); for my days <03117> are vanity <01892>.
17 # What is man <0582>, that thou shouldest magnify <01431> (8762) him? and that thou shouldest set <07896> (8799) thine heart <03820> upon him?
18 And that thou shouldest visit <06485> (8799) him every morning <01242>, and try <0974> (8799) him every moment <07281>?
19 How long <04100> wilt thou not depart <08159> (8799) from me, nor let me alone <07503> (8686) till I swallow down <01104> (8800) my spittle <07536>?
20 I have sinned <02398> (8804); what shall I do <06466> (8799) unto thee, O thou preserver <05341> (8802) of men <0120>? why hast thou set <07760> (8804) me as a mark <04645> against thee, so that I am a burden <04853> to myself?
21 And why dost thou not pardon <05375> (8799) my transgression <06588>, and take away <05674> (8686) mine iniquity <05771>? for now shall I sleep <07901> (8799) in the dust <06083>; and thou shalt seek me in the morning <07836> (8765), but I shall not be.
