12 “Am I the sea or a sea monsterthat you have set a guard over me?
13 When I say,‘My couch may give me comfort.My bed may help me bear my pain,’
14 then you frighten me with dreamsand terrify me with visions.
15 My throat would rather be choked.My body would prefer death ⌊to these dreams⌋.
16 I hate my life; I do not want to live forever.Leave me alone because my days are so brief.
17 “What is a mortal that you should make so much of him,that you should be concerned about him?
18 ⌊What is he⌋ that you should inspect him every morningand examine him every moment?
