12 Am I the sea, or a sea monster,that You set a guard over me?
13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,my couch will ease my complaint,’
14 then You scare me with dreamsand terrify me with visions,
15 so that my soul chooses strangling,even death rather than my life.
16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever;let me alone, for my days are emptiness.
17 “What is man, that You should exalt him,and that You should set Your heart on him,
18 and that You should visit him every morning,and test him every moment?
