18 “O earth, (A)cover not my blood,
and let my (B)cry find no resting place.
19 Even now, behold, my (C)witness is in heaven,
and he who testifies for me is (D)on high.
20 My friends (E)scorn me;
my eye pours out tears to God,
21 that he would (F)argue the case of a man with God,
as[a] a son of man does with his neighbor.

18 “Listen, earth! Don’t cover my blood,
for my outcry has no place to rest.
19 Even now, behold! I have a witness in heaven,
my Advocate is on high.
20 My friends mock me,
while my eyes overflow with tears to God,
21 crying for him to arbitrate between this[a] man and God;
as a human being does with his fellow neighbor.
