1 # But now they that are younger <06810> <03117> than I have me in derision <07832> (8804), whose fathers <01> I would have disdained <03988> (8804) to have set <07896> (8800) with the dogs <03611> of my flock <06629>.
2 Yea, whereto <04100> might the strength <03581> of their hands <03027> profit me, in whom old age <03624> was perished <06> (8804)?
3 For want <02639> and famine <03720> they were solitary <01565>; fleeing <06207> (8802) into the wilderness <06723> in former time <0570> desolate <07722> and waste <04875>.
4 Who cut up <06998> (8801) mallows <04408> by the bushes <07880>, and juniper <07574> roots <08328> for their meat <03899>.
5 They were driven forth <01644> (8792) from among <01460> men, (they cried <07321> (8686) after them as after a thief <01590>;)
6 To dwell <07931> (8800) in the clifts <06178> of the valleys <05158>, in caves <02356> of the earth <06083>, and in the rocks <03710>.
7 Among the bushes <07880> they brayed <05101> (8799); under the nettles <02738> they were gathered together <05596> (8792).
8 They were children <01121> of fools <05036>, yea, children <01121> of base men <08034>: they were viler <05217> (8738) than the earth <0776>.
9 And now am I their song <05058>, yea, I am their byword <04405>.
10 They abhor <08581> (8765) me, they flee far <07368> (8804) from me, and spare <02820> (8804) not to spit <07536> in my face <06440>.
11 Because he hath loosed <06605> (8765) my cord <03499>, and afflicted <06031> (8762) me, they have also let loose <07971> (8765) the bridle <07448> before <06440> me.
12 Upon my right <03225> hand rise <06965> (8799) the youth <06526>; they push away <07971> (8765) my feet <07272>, and they raise up <05549> (8799) against me the ways <0734> of their destruction <0343>.
13 They mar <05420> (8804) my path <05410>, they set forward <03276> (8686) my calamity <01942> (8675) <01962>, they have no helper <05826> (8802).
14 They came <0857> (8799) upon me as a wide <07342> breaking <06556> in of waters: in <08478> the desolation <07722> they rolled <01556> (8701) themselves upon me.
15 # Terrors <01091> are turned <02015> (8717) upon me: they pursue <07291> (8799) my soul <05082> as the wind <07307>: and my welfare <03444> passeth away <05674> (8804) as a cloud <05645>.
16 And now my soul <05315> is poured out <08210> (8691) upon me; the days <03117> of affliction <06040> have taken hold <0270> (8799) upon me.
17 My bones <06106> are pierced <05365> (8765) in me in the night season <03915>: and my sinews <06207> (8802) take no rest <07901> (8799).
18 By the great <07230> force <03581> of my disease is my garment <03830> changed <02664> (8691): it bindeth me about <0247> (8799) as the collar <06310> of my coat <03801>.
19 He hath cast <03384> (8689) me into the mire <02563>, and I am become like <04911> (8691) dust <06083> and ashes <0665>.
20 I cry <07768> (8762) unto thee, and thou dost not hear <06030> (8799) me: I stand up <05975> (8804) , and thou regardest <0995> (8709) me not.
21 Thou art become <02015> (8735) cruel <0393> to me: with thy strong <06108> hand <03027> thou opposest <07852> (8799) thyself against me.
22 Thou liftest me up <05375> (8799) to the wind <07307>; thou causest me to ride <07392> (8686) upon it , and dissolvest <04127> (8787) my substance <08454> (8675) <07738> (8762).
23 For I know <03045> (8804) that thou wilt bring <07725> (8686) me to death <04194>, and to the house <01004> appointed <04150> for all living <02416>.
24 Howbeit he will not stretch out <07971> (8799) his hand <03027> to the grave <01164>, though they cry <07769> in his destruction <06365>.
25 Did not I weep <01058> (8804) for him that was in trouble <07186> <03117>? was not my soul <05315> grieved <05701> (8804) for the poor <034>?
26 When I looked <06960> (8765) for good <02896>, then evil <07451> came <0935> (8799) unto me : and when I waited <03176> (8762) for light <0216>, there came <0935> (8799) darkness <0652>.
27 My bowels <04578> boiled <07570> (8795), and rested <01826> (8804) not: the days <03117> of affliction <06040> prevented <06923> (8765) me.
28 I went <01980> (8765) mourning <06937> (8802) without the sun <02535>: I stood up <06965> (8804), and I cried <07768> (8762) in the congregation <06951>.
29 I am a brother <0251> to dragons <08577>, and a companion <07453> to owls <01323> <03284>.
30 My skin <05785> is black <07835> (8804) upon me, and my bones <06106> are burned <02787> (8804) with heat <02721>.
31 My harp <03658> also is turned to mourning <060>, and my organ <05748> into the voice <06963> of them that weep <01058> (8802).
