13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,’
14 then You frighten me with dreams, and terrify me with visions,
15 so that my soul prefers strangulation, and my bones death.
16 I despise it; I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a vapor.
17 “What is mankind, that You magnify him, that You set Your heart on him,
18 that You visit him every morning, and test him in every moment?
19 Will You never look away from me, or let me alone until I swallow my spittle?
