I loathe it; I shall not live alway; let me alone; for my days are vanity.
17
What is man, that Thou shouldest magnify him, and that Thou shouldest set Thy heart upon him,
18
And that Thou shouldest remember him every morning, and try him every moment?
19
How long wilt Thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
20
If I have sinned, what do I unto Thee, O Thou watcher of men? Why hast Thou set me as a mark for Thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
21
And why dost Thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; and Thou wilt seek me, but I shall not be.
