10:1  ‘I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
10:2  I will say to God, Do not condemn me; let me know why you contend against me.
10:3  Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favour the schemes of the wicked?
10:4  Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as humans see?
10:5  Are your days like the days of mortals, or your years like human years,
10:6  that you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin,
10:7  although you know that I am not guilty, and there is no one to deliver out of your hand?
10:8  Your hands fashioned and made me; and now you turn and destroy me.
10:9  Remember that you fashioned me like clay; and will you turn me to dust again?
10:10  Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?
10:11  You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
10:12  You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit.
10:13  Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this was your purpose.
10:14  If I sin, you watch me, and do not acquit me of my iniquity.
10:15  If I am wicked, woe to me! If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look upon my affliction.
10:16  Bold as a lion you hunt me; you repeat your exploits against me.
10:17  You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your vexation towards me; you bring fresh troops against me.
10:18  ‘Why did you bring me forth from the womb? Would that I had died before any eye had seen me,
10:19  and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.
10:20  Are not the days of my life few? Let me alone, that I may find a little comfort
10:21  before I go, never to return, to the land of gloom and deep darkness,
10:22  the land of gloom and chaos, where light is like darkness.’
