17 For he crushes me with a tempest

and multiplies my wounds without cause;

18 he will not let me get my breath,

but fills me with bitterness.

19 If it is a contest of strength, behold, he is mighty!

If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?

17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause. 18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness. 19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: And if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

17 For he attacks me with a storm

and repeatedly wounds me without cause.

18 He will not let me catch my breath,

but fills me instead with bitter sorrows.

19 If it’s a question of strength, he’s the strong one.

If it’s a matter of justice, who dares to summon him to court?

17 For He crushes me with a tempest,

And multiplies my wounds without cause.

18 He will not allow me to catch my breath,

But fills me with bitterness.

19 If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong;

And if of justice, who will appoint my day in court?

17 He would crush me with a storm

and multiply my wounds for no reason.

18 He would not let me catch my breath

but would overwhelm me with misery.

19 When it comes to strength, God is stronger than I;

when it comes to justice, no one can accuse him.

17 For he breaketh me with a tempest,

And multiplieth my wounds without cause.

18 He will not suffer me to take my breath,

But filleth me with bitterness.

19 If we speak of strength, lo, he is mighty!

And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me?

17 He, who crusheth me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 18 He suffereth me not to take my breath, for he filleth me with bitternesses. 19 Be it a question of strength, lo, he is strong; and be it of judgment, who will set me a time?

17 He would knock me down with a storm 

and bruise me without a reason. 

18 He would not let me catch my breath. 

He fills me with bitterness. 

19 If it is a matter of strength, 

then he is the mighty one. 

If it is about justice, 

who will charge me with a crime? 

17 He batters me with a whirlwind

and multiplies my wounds without cause.

18 He doesn’t let me catch my breath

but soaks me with bitter experiences.

19 If it is a matter of strength, look, He is the Mighty One!

If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?

17 For he crushes me with a tempest,

and multiplies my wounds without cause;

18 he will not let me get my breath,

but fills me with bitterness.

19 If it is a contest of strength, he is the strong one!

If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?

17 who crushes me with a tempest

and multiplies my wounds without cause.

18 He will not allow me to catch my breath;

rather, he will fill me with bitterness.

19 If it is a matter of strength, look, he is mighty.

But if it is a matter of justice, who can summon me?

17 He would send a storm to crush me.

He’d increase my wounds without any reason.

18 He wouldn’t let me catch my breath.

He’d make my life very bitter.

19 If it’s a matter of strength, he is mighty!

And if it’s a matter of being fair,

who would dare to bring charges against him?

17 “For He bruises me with a tempest

And multiplies my wounds without cause.

18 “He will not allow me to get my breath,

But saturates me with bitterness.

19 “If it is a matter of power, behold, He is the strong one!

And if it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?
