1 My soul is cut off in my life; therefore, I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; cause me to understand why thou dost contend with me.
3 Is it good unto thee that thou should oppress, that thou should reject the work of thine hands and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? Dost thou see as man sees?
5 Are thy days as the days of man? Are thy years as man’s days,
6 that thou dost enquire after my iniquity and search after my sin?
7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is no one that can deliver out of thy hand.
