1: [is there] notH3808 a time of hard serviceH6635 for manH0582 onH5921 earthH5921 and like the daysH3117 of a hired manH7916 [Are not] his days?H3117

2: Like a servantH5650 who earnestly desiresH7602 the shade,H6738 and like a hired manH7916 who eagerly looks forH6960 his wages,H6467

3: soH3651 have been allottedH5157 monthsH3391 of futility,H7723 and nightsH3915 wearisomeH5999 have been appointedH4487

4: WhenH0518 I lie down,H7901 and I say,H0559 whenH4970 shall I arise,H6965 and be ended?H4059 the nightH6153 for I have had my fillH7646 of tossingH5076 tillH5704 dawn.H5399

5: Is cakedH3847 My fleshH1320 with wormsH7415 andH1487 dust-H6083 My skinH5785 is cracked,H7280 and breaks out afresh.H3988

6: My daysH3117 are swifterH7043 thanH4480 a weaver's shuttle,H0708 and are spentH3615 withoutH0657 hope.H8615

7: Oh rememberH2142 thatH3588 a breath-H7307 my life [is]H2416 neverH3808 againH7725 My eyeH5869 will seeH7200 good.H2896

8: No [more]H3808 will see meH7789 the eye ofH5869 him who sees meH7210 [While] your [eyes] areH5869 and I shall no longer [be].H0369

9: DisappearsH3615 [As] the cloudH6051 and vanishes away,H1980 soH3651 he who goes downH3381 to the graveH7585 notH3808 does come up.H5927

10: NeverH3808 He shall returnH7725 moreH5750 to his house,H1004 norH3808 shall know himH5234 anymoreH5750 his place.H4725

11: ThereforeH1571 IH0589 notH3808 will restrainH2820 my mouth-H6310 I will speakH1696 in the anguishH6862 of my spirit-H7307 I will complainH7878 in the bitternessH4751 of my soul.H5315

12: [am] a sea,H3220 IH0589 orH0518 a sea serpent,H8577 thatH3588 You setH7760 over meH5921 a guard.H4929

13: WhenH3588 I say,H0559 will comfort meH5162 My bedH6210 will easeH5375 my complaintH7878 My couch.H4904

14: And You scare meH2865 with dreams,H2472 and with visions-H2384 terrify me.H1204

15: So that choosesH0977 strangling,H4267 my soulH5315 [And] deathH4194 rather than my body.H6106

16: I loathe [my life]H3988 notH3808 forever.H5769 I would liveH2421 let aloneH2308 me-H4480 forH3588 [but] a breathH1892 my days [are].H3117

17: What [is]H4100 man,H0582 thatH3588 You should exalt himH1431 and [That]H3588 You should setH7896 on himH0413 Your heart.H3820

18: That You should visit himH6485 every morning,H1242 every momentH7281 [And] test him?H0974

19: as what [duration]H4100 notH3808 will You look awayH8159 from meH4480 andH3808 let me aloneH7503 tillH5704 I swallowH1104 my saliva?H7536

20: have I sinned-H2398 whatH4100 have I doneH6466 watcherH5341 of men?H0120 whyH4100 have You set meH7760 as targetH4645 so that I amH1961 to myselfH5921 a burden.H4853

21: Then whyH4100 notH3808 do You pardonH5375 my transgression,H6588 and take awayH5674 -H0853 my iniquity?H5771 forH3588 nowH6258 in the dust-H6083 I will lie downH7901 and You will seek me diligently,H7836 but I [will] no longer [be].H0369
