10 I said: In the noontide of my days
I must depart;
I am consigned to the gates of Sheol
for the rest of my years.(A)

in the land of the living;
I shall look upon mortals no more
among the inhabitants of the world.(B)

like a shepherd’s tent;
like a weaver I have rolled up my life;

like a lion he breaks all my bones;
from day to night you bring me to an end.(D)
