12 Am I a sea, or a sea serpent,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 stranglingAnd death rather than my body.
16 I loathe my life;I would not live forever.Let me alone,For my days are but a breath.
17 “What is man, that You should exalt him,That You should set Your heart on him,
18 That You should visit him every morning,And test him every moment?
