2  I will say to God, Do not xcondemn me;

let me know why you ycontend against me.

3  zDoes it seem good to you to oppress,

to despise athe work of your hands

band favor the designs of the wicked?

4  Have you ceyes of flesh?

dDo you see as man sees?

5  Are your days as the days of man,

or your eyears as a man’s years,

6  that you fseek out my iniquity

and search for my sin,

7  although you gknow that I am not guilty,

and there is hnone to deliver out of your hand?

8  iYour hands fashioned and made me,

and now you have destroyed me altogether.

9  Remember that you have made me like jclay;

and will you return me to the kdust?

10  Did you not pour me out like milk

and curdle me like cheese?

11  You clothed me with skin and flesh,

and knit me together with bones and sinews.

12  You have granted me life and steadfast love,

and your care has preserved my spirit.
