New Jerusalem Bible	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
¹ Since I have lost al taste for life, I shal give free rein to my complaining; I shal let my embittered soulspeak out.	¹ "I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
² I shal say to God, 'Do not condemn me, tel me what your case is against me.	² I will say to God, Do not condemn me; let me know why thou dost contend against me.
³ Is it right for you to attack me, in contempt for what you yourself have made, thus abetting theschemes of the wicked?	³ Does it seem good to thee to oppress, to despise the work of thy hands and favor the designs of the wicked?
⁴ Are your eyes mere human eyes, do you see as human beings see?	⁴ Hast thou eyes of flesh? Dost thou see as man sees?
⁵ Are you mortal like human beings? do your years pass as human days pass?	⁵ Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man's years,
⁶ You, who enquire into my faults and investigate my sins,	⁶ that thou dost seek out my iniquity and search for my sin,
⁷ you know very wel that I am innocent, and that no one can rescue me from your grasp.	⁷ although thou knowest that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of thy hand?
⁸ Your hands having shaped and created me, now you change your mind and mean to destroy me!	⁸ Thy hands fashioned and made me; and now thou dost turn about and destroy me.
⁹ Having made me, remember, as though of clay, now you mean to turn me back into dust!	⁹ Remember that thou hast made me of clay; and wilt thou turn me to dust again?
¹⁰ Did you not pour me out like milk, and then let me thicken like curds,	¹⁰ Didst thou not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?
¹¹ clothe me with skin and flesh, and weave me of bone and sinew?	¹¹ Thou didst clothe me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
¹² In your love you gave me life, and in your care watched over my every breath.	¹² Thou hast granted me life and steadfast love; and thy care has preserved my spirit.
¹³ Yet, al the while, you had a secret plan: I know that you were biding your time	¹³ Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this was thy purpose.
¹⁴ to see if I should sin and then not acquit me of my faults.	¹⁴ If I sin, thou dost mark me, and dost not acquit me of my iniquity.
¹⁵ Woe to me, if I am guilty; even if I am upright, I dare not lift my head, so overwhelmed with shameand drunk with pain am I!	¹⁵ If I am wicked, woe to me! If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look upon my affliction.
¹⁶ Proud as a lion, you hunt me down, multiplying your exploits at my expense,	¹⁶ And if I lift myself up, thou dost hunt me like a lion, and again work wonders against me;
¹⁷ attacking me again and again, your fury against me ever increasing, your troops assailing me, waveafter wave.	¹⁷ thou dost renew thy witnesses against me, and increase thy vexation toward me; thou dost bring fresh hosts against me.
¹⁸ Why did you bring me out of the womb? I should have perished then, unseen by any eye,	¹⁸ "Why didst thou bring me forth from the womb? Would that I had died before any eye had seen me,
¹⁹ a being that had never been, to be carried from womb to grave.	¹⁹ and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.
²⁰ The days of my life are few enough: turn your eyes away, leave me a little joy,	²⁰ Are not the days of my life few? Let me alone, that I may find a little comfort
²¹ before I go to the place of no return, to the land of darkness and shadow dark as death,	²¹ before I go whence I shall not return, to the land of gloom and deep darkness,
²² where dimness and disorder hold sway, and light itself is like dead of night.	²² the land of gloom and chaos, where light is as darkness."
