Nor shall see me - the eye that used to behold me, Thine eyes, are upon me, and I am not.

He shall not return again to his house, and his own place shall be acquainted with him no more.

Am, I, a sea, or a sea-monster, - That thou shouldst set over me a watch?

I also, cannot restrain my mouth, - I must speak, in the anguish of my spirit, I must find utterance, in the bitterness of my soul.

When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall help to carry my complaint,

And why wilt thou not remove my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For, now, in the dust, should I lie down, and thou shouldst seek me diligently, and I should not be.

Then thou scarest me with dreams, and, by visions, dost thou terrify me:

I am wasted away, Not, to times age-abiding, can I live, Let me alone, for, a breath, are my days.

So that my soul chooseth strangling, Death, rather than these my bones!

What is a mortal, that thou shouldst nurture him? Or that thou shouldst fix upon him thy mind?

I have sinned, What can I do for thee, thou watcher of men? Wherefore hast thou set me as thine object of attack, or have I become, unto thee, a burden?

How long wilt thou not look away from me? Wilt thou not let me alone, till I can swallow my spittle?

Remember thou, that, a wind, is my life, not again shall mine eye see blessing:

My days, are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and they are spent, without hope.

So, have I been made to inherit months of calamity, and, nights of weariness, have been appointed me.

That thou shouldst inspect him morning by morning, moment by moment, shouldst test him?

As soon as I lie down, I say, When shall I arise? yet he lengtheneth out the evening, and I am wearied with tossings until the breeze of twilight.

As, a bondman, panteth for the shadow, and as, a hireling, longeth for his wage,

My flesh is clothed with worms and a coating of dust, My skin, hath hardened, and then run afresh:

Is there not a warfare to a mortal, upon earth? And, as the days of a hireling, are not his days?

A cloud faileth, and is gone, So, he that descendeth to hades, shall not come up:
