I could talk like you do if you were in my place, stringing words together to criticize you, ridiculing you with a toss of my head.

I could build you up by my mouth speaking words; the movement of my lips would ease your pain.

6 If I will speak not it will be restrained pain my and I will cease what? from me will it go.

For me, if I speak it doesn't ease my pain, and if I don't speak the pain is still there.

7 Nevertheless now he has made weary me you have devastated all company my.

God, you have worn me out. You have destroyed my whole family.

8 And you have seized me a witness it has become and it has risen up on me leanness my in face my it testifies.

You have made me shrivel up, which is a witness against me; my thin body testifies against me.

9 Anger his it has torn [me] - and it has assailed me he has gnashed towards me with teeth his opponent my - he sharpens eyes his to me.

He has torn me apart in his anger; in his hostility he has gnashed his teeth at me; my enemy pierces me with his fierce look.

People stare at me with their mouths wide open, they slap me on my cheeks to mock me, they crowd around me to attack me.

11 He delivers up me God to an unjust one and on [the] hands of wicked [people] he casts me.

God has handed me over to evil people; he has thrown me into their hands.

12 At ease I was - and he smashed me and he took hold on neck my and he shattered me and he set up me of him to a target.

I was living in peace and he smashed me to pieces. He grabbed me by the neck and dashed me to pieces. He set me up as his target.

13 They surround me - archers his he splits open kidneys my and not he has compassion he pours out to the ground gall my.

His archers surround me. His arrows pierce my kidneys without mercy. He pours out my gall on the ground.

14 He breaks through me a breach on [the] face of a breach he runs on me like a warrior.

Like a wall he breaks me down, breach upon breach, rushing at me like a warrior.

15 Sackcloth I have sewed over skin my and I have inserted in the dust horn my.

I have sown sackcloth to cover my skin; my strength lies broken in the dust.

16 Face my (they are reddened *Q(K)*) from weeping and [is] on eyelids my deep darkness.

My face is red from crying and dark shadows surround my eyes,

17 On not violence [is] in hands my and prayer my [is] pure.

although I have done nothing wrong and my prayer is pure.

Earth, do not cover up my blood. May my cry find no place to hide.

My friends scorn me, but my eyes pour out tears to God.

21 And he may argue for a man with God and a child of humankind for companion his.

I want my witness to speak for me with God as someone does for their friend.

22 For years of number they will come and a way [which] not I will return I will go.

For in a few short years I shall go down that road from which I shall not return.
