“Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit,
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul [O Lord].

“When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
My couch will ease my complaint,’
14

And terrify me through visions,
15 
So that I would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my [a]pain.
16 
“I waste away and loathe my life; I will not live forever.
Let me alone, for my days are but a breath [futile and without substance].
