5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it;let a cloud settle on it;let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness capture it;let it not rejoice among the days of the year;let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Yes, as for that night, let it be barren!Let no joyful cry come into it!
8 Let them curse it who curse any day,those who are prepared to rouse Leviathan.
9 Let its morning stars be dark;let it look for light, but have none;let it not see the rays of dawn,
10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb,nor hide trouble from my eyes.
11 “Why did I not die at birth?Why did I not expire when I came out of the womb?
