13qWhen I say, My bed shall comfort me,
My couch shall rease my ocomplaint;
14sThen thou scarest me with dreams,
And terrifiest me through visions:
15So that my soul chooseth strangling,
And death rather †than my life.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
my couch will ease my complaint,’
then you scare me with dreams
and terrify me with visions,
so that I would choose strangling
and death rather than my bones.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
When I think my bed will comfort me
and my couch will ease my complaint,
even then you frighten me with dreams
and terrify me with visions,
so that I prefer strangling and death,
rather than this body of mine.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
When I say, “My bed will comfort me,
and my couch will ease my complaint,”
then you frighten me with dreams,
and terrify me with visions,
so that I prefer strangling—
death rather than life in this body.

NLTNew Living Translation
I think, ‘My bed will comfort me,
and sleep will ease my misery,’
but then you shatter me with dreams
and terrify me with visions.
I would rather be strangled—
rather die than suffer like this.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
and my couch will ease my complaint,’
then you terrify me with dreams,
and with visions you terrify me.
So my inner self will choose strangling—
death more than my existence.
