12 Am I the sea or a sea monster, that You keep me under guard?
13 When I say: My bed will comfort me,and my couch will ease my complaint,
14 then You frighten me with dreams,and terrify me with visions,
15 so that I prefer strangling —death rather than life in this body.
16 I give up! I will not live forever.Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.
17 What is man, that You think so highly of himand pay so much attention to him?
18 You inspect him every morning,and put him to the test every moment.
