[1] “Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth?
Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
[2] As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow,
as a hireling who looks for his wages,
[3] so I am made to possess months of misery,
wearisome nights are appointed to me.
[4] When I lie down, I say,
‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’
I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
[5] My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust.
My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
[6] My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
and are spent without hope.
[7] Oh remember that my life is a breath.
My eye will no more see good.
[8] The eye of him who sees me will see me no more.
Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
[9] As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away,
so he who goes down to Sheolⓘ will come up no more.
[10] He will return no more to his house,
neither will his place know him any more. [11] “Therefore I will not keep silent.
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit.
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
[12] Am I a sea, or a sea monster,
that you put a guard over me?
[13] When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me.
My couch will ease my complaint,’
[14] then you scare me with dreams
and terrify me through visions,
[15] so that my soul chooses strangling,
death rather than my bones.
[16] I loathe my life.
I don’t want to live forever.
Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
[17] What is man, that you should magnify him,
that you should set your mind on him,
[18] that you should visit him every morning,
and test him every moment?
[19] How long will you not look away from me,
nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
[20] If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men?
Why have you set me as a mark for you,
so that I am a burden to myself?
[21] Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity?
For now will I lie down in the dust.
You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”

King James Version
[1] [Is there] not an appointed timeH6635 to manH582 upon earth?H776 [are not] his daysH3117 also like the daysH3117 of an hireling?H7916 [2] As a servantH5650 earnestly desirethH7602(QalImpf) the shadow,H6738 and as an hirelingH7916 lookethH6960(PielImpf) for [the reward of] his work:H6467 [3] So am I made to possessH5157(HophPerf) monthsH3391 of vanity,H7723 and wearisomeH5999 nightsH3915 are appointedH4487(PielPerf) to me. [4] When I lie down,H7901(QalPerf) I say,H559(QalPerf) When shall I arise,H6965(QalImpf) and the nightH6153 be gone?H4059 and I am fullH7646(QalPerf) of tossings to and froH5076 unto the dawning of the day.H5399 [5] My fleshH1320 is clothedH3847(QalPerf) with wormsH7415 and clodsH1487 of dust;H6083 my skinH5785 is broken,H7280(QalPerf) and become loathsome.H3988(NiphImpf) [6] My daysH3117 are swifterH7043(QalPerf) than a weaver’s shuttle,H708 and are spentH3615(QalImpf) withoutH657 hope.H8615 [7] O rememberH2142(QalImpv) that my lifeH2416 [is] wind:H7307 mine eyeH5869 shall no moreH7725(QalImpf) seeH7200(QalInf) good.H2896 [8] The eyeH5869 of him that hath seenH7210 me shall seeH7789(QalImpf) me no [more]: thine eyesH5869 [are] upon me, and I [am] not. [9] [As] the cloudH6051 is consumedH3615(QalPerf) and vanisheth away:H3212(QalImpf) so he that goeth downH3381(QalActPtc) to the graveH7585 shall come upH5927(QalImpf) no [more]. [10] He shall returnH7725(QalImpf) no more to his house,H1004 neither shall his placeH4725 knowH5234(HiphImpf) him any more. [11] Therefore I will not refrainH2820(QalImpf) my mouth;H6310 I will speakH1696(PielImpf) in the anguishH6862 of my spirit;H7307 I will complainH7878(QalImpf) in the bitternessH4751 of my soul.H5315 [12] [Am] I a sea,H3220 or a whale,H8577 that thou settestH7760(QalImpf) a watchH4929 over me? [13] When I say,H559(QalPerf) My bedH6210 shall comfortH5162(PielImpf) me, my couchH4904 shall easeH5375(QalImpf) my complaint;H7879 [14] Then thou scarestH2865(PielPerf) me with dreams,H2472 and terrifiestH1204(PielImpf) me through visions:H2384 [15] So that my soulH5315 choosethH977(QalImpf) strangling,H4267 [and] deathH4194 rather than my life.H6106 [16] I loatheH3988(QalPerf) [it]; I would not liveH2421(QalImpf) alway:H5769 let me alone;H2308(QalImpv) for my daysH3117 [are] vanity.H1892 [17] What [is] man,H582 that thou shouldest magnifyH1431(PielImpf) him? and that thou shouldest setH7896(QalImpf) thine heartH3820 upon him? [18] And [that] thou shouldest visitH6485(QalImpf) him every morning,H1242 [and] tryH974(QalImpf) him every moment?H7281 [19] How longH4100 wilt thou not departH8159(QalImpf) from me, nor let me aloneH7503(HiphImpf) till I swallow downH1104(QalInf) my spittle?H7536 [20] I have sinned;H2398(QalPerf) what shall I doH6466(QalImpf) unto thee, O thou preserverH5341(QalActPtc) of men?H120 why hast thou setH7760(QalPerf) me as a markH4645 against thee, so that I am a burdenH4853 to myself? [21] And why dost thou not pardonH5375(QalImpf) my transgression,H6588 and take awayH5674(HiphImpf) mine iniquity?H5771 for now shall I sleepH7901(QalImpf) in the dust;H6083 and thou shalt seek me in the morning,H7836(PielPerf) but I [shall] not [be].
