See, I am conscious of your thoughts, and of your violent purposes against me;

I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him.

Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.

Yet I am not destroyed by the darkness,
by the thick darkness that covers my face.

“This [which I am about to explain] is the portion of a wicked man from God,
And the inheritance which tyrants and oppressors receive from the Almighty:

A father I am to the needy, And the cause I have not known I search out.

But now they mock me,
men younger than I am,
whose fathers I would have refused to put
with my sheep dogs.

And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

I am disgusting to them; they keep away from me, and put marks of shame on me.

As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.

{At night I am in great pain}; my pains do not take a rest.

He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

Lifting me up, you make me go on the wings of the wind; I am broken up by the storm.

For I am certain that you will send me back to death, and to the meeting-place ordered for all living.

I am churning within and cannot rest;
days of suffering confront me.

I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

(But from my youth He grew up with me as with a father, And from the belly of my mother I am led.)

For a dread unto me is calamity from God, And because of His excellency I am not able.

Because I fear a great multitude, And the contempt of families doth affright me, Then I am silent, I go not out of the opening.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

Inside I am like wine which has no outlet, like new wineskins ready to burst!

For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away.

“Behold, I have opened my mouth [to begin my speech];
My tongue in my mouth is going to speak.

Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

“Behold, I will not make you afraid or terrified of me [for I am only mortal and not God],
Nor should any pressure from me weigh heavily upon you.

I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

See, he is looking for something against me; in his eyes I am as one of his haters;

then the LORD is merciful unto him, and sayeth, 'He shall be delivered, that he fall not down to destruction, for I am sufficiently reconciled.'

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.

"For has any said to God, 'I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.

"Do you think this [is] justice when you say, '{I am right} before God'?

Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

Will you even make my right of no value? will you say that I am wrong in order to make clear that you are right?

"Or, who hath given me anything afore hand, that I am bound to reward him again? All things under heaven are mine.

After the Lord had finished speaking to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has.

I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.

For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of David. When I call out, answer me, O God who vindicates me! Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and respond to my prayer!

Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I am praying to you!

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

I am absolutely terrified, and you, Lord -- how long will this continue?

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

The Lord judges the nations. Vindicate me, Lord, because I am innocent, because I am blameless, O Exalted One!

Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O Lord;
See how I am afflicted by those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,

He hath said in his heart, 'I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved.

So my heart rejoices and I am happy; My life is safe.

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

Concerning the works of men, by the Words of Your lips, I am kept from the paths of the destroyer.

I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, with Thy form!

The 'Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.

The LORD will reward me because I am righteous; because my hands are clean he will restore me;

For I am aware of all his regulations, and I do not reject his rules.

And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

He makes me free from my haters; I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.

Who can know all his errors? Please do not punish me for sins I am unaware of.

Now I am sure that the Lord will deliver his chosen king; he will intervene for him from his holy heavenly temple, and display his mighty ability to deliver.

O my God, I call out by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but I find no rest nor quiet.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,

A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.

I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:

Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.

For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me.

I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the Lord.

By David. The Lord delivers and vindicates me! I fear no one! The Lord protects my life! I am afraid of no one!

Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I am confident.

I am certain that I will see the Lord’s goodness
in the land of the living.

Give ear to the voice of my prayer, when I am crying to you, when my hands are lifted up to your holy place.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

And I -- I have said in mine ease, 'I am not moved -- to the age.

I am full of hate for those who go after false gods; but my hope is in the Lord.

I will be happy and rejoice in your faithfulness, because you notice my pain and you are aware of how distressed I am.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintance: They that did see me without fled from me.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call on You;
Let the wicked (godless) be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

They repay me evil for the good I have done; I am overwhelmed with sorrow.

When they were sick, I wore sackcloth, and refrained from eating food. (If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered!)

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

My whole body is sick because of your judgment; I am deprived of health because of my sin.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

For I am overcome with shame and my whole body is sick.

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

“I am mute, I do not open my mouth,
Because it is You who has done it.

Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
