2I will say unto God, Do not condemn me;

Show me wherefore thou contendest with me.

3Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress,

That thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands,

And shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

4Hast thou eyes of flesh?

Or seest thou as man seeth?

5Are thy days as the days of man,

Or thy years as man’s days,

6That thou inquirest after mine iniquity,

And searchest after my sin,

7Although thou knowest that I am not wicked,

And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?

8Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me

Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

9Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay;

And wilt thou bring me into dust again?

10Hast thou not poured me out as milk,

And curdled me like cheese?

11Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh,

And knit me together with bones and sinews.

12Thou hast granted me life and lovingkindness;

And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
