“Oh, that I might have my request,
    that God would grant my desire.
I wish he would crush me.
    I wish he would reach out his hand and kill me.

    I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 But I don’t have the strength to endure.

13 No, I am utterly helpless,
    without any chance of success.
