1 κάμνων τῇ ψυχῇ μου στένων ἐπαφήσω ἐπ' αὐτὸν τὰ ῥήματά μου λαλήσω πικρίᾳ ψυχῆς μου συνεχόμενος 2 καὶ ἐρῶ πρὸς κύριον μή με ἀσεβεῖν δίδασκε καὶ διὰ τί με οὕτως ἔκρινας 3 ἦ καλόν σοι ἐὰν ἀδικήσω ὅτι ἀπείπω ἔργα χειρῶν σου βουλῇ δὲ ἀσεβῶν προσέσχες 4 ἦ ὥσπερ βροτὸς ὁρᾷ καθορᾷς ἢ καθὼς ὁρᾷ ἄνθρωπος βλέψῃ 5 ἦ ὁ βίος σου ἀνθρώπινός ἐστιν ἢ τὰ ἔτη σου ἀνδρός 6 ὅτι ἀνεζήτησας τὴν ἀνομίαν μου καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας μου ἐξιχνίασας 7 οἶδας γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ ἠσέβησα ἀλλὰ τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν σου ἐξαιρούμενος 8 αἱ χεῖρές σου ἔπλασάν με καὶ ἐποίησάν με μετὰ ταῦτα μεταβαλών με ἔπαισας 9 μνήσθητι ὅτι πηλόν με ἔπλασας εἰς δὲ γῆν με πάλιν ἀποστρέφεις 10 ἦ οὐχ ὥσπερ γάλα με ἤμελξας ἐτύρωσας δέ με ἴσα τυρῷ 11 δέρμα καὶ κρέας με ἐνέδυσας ὀστέοις δὲ καὶ νεύροις με ἐνεῖρας 12 ζωὴν δὲ καὶ ἔλεος ἔθου παρ' ἐμοί ἡ δὲ ἐπισκοπή σου ἐφύλαξέν μου τὸ πνεῦμα 13 ταῦτα ἔχων ἐν σεαυτῷ οἶδα ὅτι πάντα δύνασαι ἀδυνατεῖ δέ σοι οὐθέν 14 ἐάν τε γὰρ ἁμάρτω φυλάσσεις με ἀπὸ δὲ ἀνομίας οὐκ ἀθῷόν με πεποίηκας 15 ἐάν τε γὰρ ἀσεβὴς ὦ οἴμμοι ἐάν τε ὦ δίκαιος οὐ δύναμαι ἀνακύψαι πλήρης γὰρ ἀτιμίας εἰμί 16 ἀγρεύομαι γὰρ ὥσπερ λέων εἰς σφαγήν πάλιν δὲ μεταβαλὼν δεινῶς με ὀλέκεις 17 ἐπανακαινίζων ἐπ' ἐμὲ τὴν ἔτασίν μου ὀργῇ δὲ μεγάλῃ μοι ἐχρήσω ἐπήγαγες δὲ ἐπ' ἐμὲ πειρατήρια 18 ἵνα τί οὖν ἐκ κοιλίας με ἐξήγαγες καὶ οὐκ ἀπέθανον ὀφθαλμὸς δέ με οὐκ εἶδεν 19 καὶ ὥσπερ οὐκ ὢν ἐγενόμην διὰ τί γὰρ ἐκ γαστρὸς εἰς μνῆμα οὐκ ἀπηλλάγην 20 ἦ οὐκ ὀλίγος ἐστὶν ὁ χρόνος τοῦ βίου μου ἔασόν με ἀναπαύσασθαι μικρὸν 21 πρὸ τοῦ με πορευθῆναι ὅθεν οὐκ ἀναστρέψω εἰς γῆν σκοτεινὴν καὶ γνοφεράν 22 εἰς γῆν σκότους αἰωνίου οὗ οὐκ ἔστιν φέγγος οὐδὲ ὁρᾶν ζωὴν βροτῶν

y soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 2 I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why you judge me so? 3 Does it seem good to you that you should calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of your own hands, and help the counsel of the wicked? 4 Have you eyes of flesh: or, shall you see as man sees? 5 Are your days as the days of man, and are your years as the times of men: 6 That you should inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin? 7 And should know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of your hand? 8 Your hands have made me, and fashioned me wholly round about, and do you thus cast me down headlong on a sudden? 9 Remember, I beseech you, that you have made me as the clay, and you will bring me into dust. 10 Have you not milked me as milk, and curdled me like cheese? 11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh: you have put me together with bones and sinews: 12 You have granted me life and mercy, and your visitation has preserved my spirit. 13 Although you conceal these things in your heart, yet I know that you remember all things. 14 If I have sinned, and you have spared me for an hour: why do you not suffer me to be clean from my iniquity? 15 And if I be wicked, woe unto me: and if just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with affliction and misery. 16 And for pride you will take me as a lioness, and returning, you torment me wonderfully. 17 You renew your witnesses against me, and multiply your wrath upon me, and pains war against me. 18 Why did you bring me forth out of the womb? O that I had been consumed, that eye might not see me! 19 I should have been as if I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave. 20 Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? Suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little: 21 Before I go and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death: 22 A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwells.

1 Tædet animam meam vitæ meæ; dimittam adversum me eloquium meum : loquar in amaritudine animæ meæ. 2 Dicam Deo : Noli me condemnare; indica mihi cur me ita judices. 3 Numquid bonum tibi videtur, si calumnieris me, et opprimas me opus manuum tuarum, et consilium impiorum adjuves? 4 Numquid oculi carnei tibi sunt? aut sicut videt homo, et tu videbis? 5 Numquid sicut dies hominis dies tui, et anni tui sicut humana sunt tempora, 6 ut quæras iniquitatem meam, et peccatum meum scruteris, 7 et scias quia nihil impium fecerim, cum sit nemo qui de manu tua possit eruere? 8 Manus tuæ fecerunt me, et plasmaverunt me totum in circuitu : et sic repente præcipitas me? 9 Memento, quæso, quod sicut lutum feceris me, et in pulverem reduces me. 10 Nonne sicut lac mulsisti me, et sicut caseum me coagulasti? 11 Pelle et carnibus vestisti me; ossibus et nervis compegisti me. 12 Vitam et misericordiam tribuisti mihi, et visitatio tua custodivit spiritum meum. 13 Licet hæc celes in corde tuo, tamen scio quia universorum memineris. 14 Si peccavi, et ad horam pepercisti mihi, cur ab iniquitate mea mundum me esse non pateris? 15 Et si impius fuero, væ mihi est; et si justus, non levabo caput, saturatus afflictione et miseria. 16 Et propter superbiam quasi leænam capies me, reversusque mirabiliter me crucias. 17 Instauras testes tuos contra me, et multiplicas iram tuam adversum me, et pœnæ militant in me. 18 Quare de vulva eduxisti me? qui utinam consumptus essem, ne oculus me videret. 19 Fuissem quasi non essem, de utero translatus ad tumulum. 20 Numquid non paucitas dierum meorum finietur brevi? dimitte ergo me, ut plangam paululum dolorem meum, 21 antequam vadam, et non revertar, ad terram tenebrosam, et opertam mortis caligine : 22 terram miseriæ et tenebrarum, ubi umbra mortis et nullus ordo, sed sempiternus horror inhabitat.
