10 With all my heart I am weary of my life,
so I will express my complaint freely.
I will speak from the bitterness of my heart.
I will say this to God: Do not condemn me.
Tell me why you are pressing charges against me.
Is it good that you are oppressing me,
that you are rejecting what your hands have made,
at the same time that you favor the plans of the wicked?
Do you have eyes made of flesh?
Do you see things the way a man does?
Are your days like a man’s days?
Are your years like the life span of a human?

You do, in fact, investigate guilt,
and you do search carefully for sin.
Although you know that I am not guilty,
there is no one who can rescue me from your hand.

Do you have eyes of flesh?
    Do you see as a mortal sees?(I)

that you must search out my faults
    and probe after my sin(K)
though you know that I am not guilty(L)
    and that no one can rescue me from your hand?(M)
