1 Is there not H3808 I-NADV an appointed time H6635 NMS to man H582 L-NMS upon H5921 PREP earth H776 ? are not his days H3117 WK-CMP also like the days H3117 CMP-3MS of a hireling H7916 AMS ?
2 As a servant H5650 K-NMS earnestly desireth H7602 VQY3MS the shadow H6738 NMS , and as a hireling H7916 WK-AMS looketh for H6960 VPY3MS the reward of his work H6467 CMS-3MS :
3 So H3651 ADV am I made to possess H5157 VOQ1CS months H3391 CMP of vanity H7723 NMS , and wearisome H5999 NMS nights H3915 W-GMP are appointed H4487 VPQ3MP to me .
4 When H518 PART I lie down H7901 VQQ1MS , I say H559 W-VQQ1MS , When H4970 IGAT shall I arise H6965 VQY1MS , and the night H6153 NMS be gone H4059 W-VPQ3MS ? and I am full H7646 W-VQQ1MP of tossings to and fro H5076 NMP unto H5704 PREP the dawning of the day H5399 NMS .
5 My flesh H1320 CMS-1MS is clothed H3847 VQQ3MS with worms H7415 NFS and clods H1487 W-NMS of dust H6083 NMS ; my skin H5785 CMS-1MS is broken H7280 VQQ3MS , and become loathsome H3988 W-VNY3MS .
6 My days H3117 CMS-1MS are swifter H7043 VQQ3MP than H4480 PREP-1MS a weaver\'s shuttle H708 NMS , and are spent H3615 W-VQY3MP without H657 B-CMS hope H8615 NFS .
7 O remember H2142 VQI2MS that H3588 CONJ my life H2416 CMP-1MS is wind H7307 NFS : mine eye H5869 CMS-1MS shall no H3808 NADV more H7725 VQY3FS see H7200 L-VQFC good H2896 AMS .
8 The eye H5869 CMS of him that hath seen H7210 VQPMS-1MS me shall see H7789 VQY3FS-1MS me no H3808 ADV more : thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS are upon me , and I am not H369 W-ADV-1MS .
9 As the cloud H6051 NMS is consumed H3615 VQQ3MS and vanisheth away H1980 W-VQY3MS : so H3651 ADV he that goeth down H3381 VQPMS to the grave H7585 NMS shall come up H5927 VQY3MS no H3808 NADV more .
10 He shall return H7725 VQY3MS no H3808 NADV more H5750 ADV to his house H1004 L-CMS-3MS , neither H3808 W-NADV shall his place H4725 CMS-3MS know H5234 VHY3MP him any more H5750 ADV .
11 Therefore H1571 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS will not H3808 NADV refrain H2820 VQY1MS my mouth H6310 ; I will speak H1696 VQY1MS in the anguish H6862 B-JMS of my spirit H7307 CFS-1MS ; I will complain H7878 VQI1MS in the bitterness H4751 B-JMS of my soul H5315 CFS-1MS .
12 Am I H589 PPRO-1MS a sea H3220 D-NMS , or H518 PART a whale H8577 NMS , that H3588 CONJ thou settest H7760 VQY2MS a watch H4929 NMS over H5921 PREP-1MS me ?
13 When H3588 CONJ I say H559 VQQ1MS , My bed H6210 CFS-1MS shall comfort H5162 VPY3FS-1MS me , my couch H4904 CMS-1MS shall ease H5375 VQY3MS my complaint H7879 ;
14 Then thou scarest H2865 W-VPQ2MS me with dreams H2472 BD-NMP , and terrifiest H1204 VPY2MS-1MS me through visions H2384 WM-NMP :
15 So that my soul H5315 CFS-1MS chooseth H977 W-VQY2MS strangling H4267 NMS , and death H4194 NMS rather than my life H6106 M-CFP-1MS .
16 I loathe H3988 VQQ1MS it ; I would not H3808 NADV live H2421 VQY1MS always H5769 L-NMS : let me alone H2308 VQI2MS ; for H3588 CONJ my days H3117 CMP-1MS are vanity H1892 NMS .
17 What H4100 IGAT is man H582 NMS , that H3588 CONJ thou shouldest magnify H1431 VPY2MS-3MS him ? and that H3588 CONJ thou shouldest set H7896 VQY2MS thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS upon H413 PREP-3MS him ?
18 And that thou shouldest visit H6485 W-VQY2MS him every morning H1242 L-NMP , and try H974 VQY3MP him every moment H7281 L-NMP ?
19 How long H4100 K-IGAT wilt thou not H3808 NADV depart H8159 VQY2MS from H4480 M-PREP-1MS me , nor H3808 ADV let me alone H7503 VHY2MS-1MS till H5704 PREP I swallow down H1104 VQFC-1MS my spittle H7536 CMS-1MS ?
20 I have sinned H2398 VQQ1MS ; what H4100 IGAT shall I do H6466 VQY1MS unto thee , O thou preserver H5341 VQPMS of men H120 D-NMS ? why H4100 L-IGAT hast thou set H7760 VQQ2MS-1MS me as a mark H4645 L-NMS against thee , so that I am H1861 a burden H4853 L-NMS to H5921 PREP-1MS myself ?
21 And why H4100 W-IGAT dost thou not H3808 NPAR pardon H5375 VQY2MS my transgression H6588 CMS-1MS , and take away H5674 W-VHY2MS mine iniquity H5771 CMS-1MS ? for H3588 CONJ now H6258 ADV shall I sleep H7901 VQY1MS in the dust H6083 LD-NMS ; and thou shalt seek me in the morning H7836 W-VPQ2MS-1MS , but I shall not H369 W-ADV-1MS be .
