American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

1. My soul[H5315] is weary[H5354] of my life[H2416]; I will give free course[H5800] to my complaint[H7879]; I will speak[H1696] in the bitterness[H4751] of my soul[H5315].

2. I will say[H559] unto God[H433], Do not condemn[H7561] me[H3045]; Show me wherefore thou contendest with me[H7378].

3. Is it good[H2895] unto thee that thou shouldest oppress[H6231], That thou shouldest despise[H3988] the work[H3018] of thy hands[H3709], And shine[H3313] upon the counsel[H6098] of the wicked[H7563]?

4. Hast thou eyes[H5869] of flesh[H1320]? Or seest[H7200] thou as man[H582] seeth[H7200]?

5. Are thy days[H3117] as the days[H3117] of man[H582], Or thy years[H8141] as man[H1397]'s days[H3117],

6. That thou inquirest[H1245] after mine iniquity[H5771], And searchest[H1875] after my sin[H2403],

7. Although thou knowest[H1847] that I am not wicked[H7561], And there is none that can deliver[H5337] out of thy hand[H3027]?

8. Thy hands[H3027] have framed[H6087] me and fashioned[H6213] me Together[H3162] round about[H5439]; yet thou dost destroy me[H1104].

9. Remember[H2142], I beseech thee[H6213], that thou hast fashioned me as clay[H2563]; And wilt thou bring[H7725] me into dust[H6083] again[H7725]?

10. Hast thou not poured me out[H5413] as milk[H2461], And curdled[H7087] me like cheese[H1385]?

11. Thou hast clothed[H3847] me with skin[H5785] and flesh[H1320], And knit[H7753] me together with bones[H6106] and sinews[H1517].

12. Thou hast granted[H6213] me life[H2416] and lovingkindness[H2617]; And thy visitation[H6486] hath preserved[H8104] my spirit[H7307].

13. Yet these things thou didst hide[H6845] in thy heart[H3824]; I know that this is with thee[H3045]:

14. If I sin[H2398], then thou markest[H8104] me[H5352], And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity[H5771].

15. If I be wicked[H7561], woe[H480] unto me[H6663]; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up[H5375] my head[H7218]; Being filled[H7649] with ignominy[H7036], And looking[H7202] upon mine affliction[H6040].

16. And if my head exalt[H1342] itself[H6679], thou huntest me as a lion[H7826]; And again[H7725] thou showest thyself marvellous upon me[H6381].

17. Thou renewest[H2318] thy witnesses[H5707] against me[H7235], And increasest thine indignation[H3708] upon me[H5978]: Changes[H2487] and warfare are with me[H6635].

18. Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth[H3318] out of the womb[H7358]? I had given up the ghost[H1478], and no eye[H5869] had seen me[H7200].

19. I should have been as though I had not been[H2986]; I should have been carried from the womb[H990] to the grave[H6913].

20. Are not my days[H3117] few[H4592]? cease[H2308] then[H7896], And let me alone, that I may take comfort[H1082] a little[H4592],

21. Before I go[H3212] whence I shall not return[H7725], Even to the land[H776] of darkness[H2822] and of the shadow of death[H6757];

22. The land[H776] dark[H5890] as midnight[H652], The land of the shadow of death[H6757], without any order[H5468], And where the light[H3313] is as midnight[H652].
