Selected verse

I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol.

I am deprived of the residue of my years.”

11

I said, “I won’t see the LORD,

the LORD in the land of the living.

I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

12

My dwelling is removed,

and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent.

I have rolled up my life like a weaver.

He will cut me off from the loom.

From day even to night you will make an end of me.

13

I waited patiently until morning.

He breaks all my bones like a lion.

From day even to night you will make an end of me.
