10:6 Then why do you track down all my sins and hunt down every fault I have?
10:7 You know that I am not guilty, that no one can save me from you.
10:8 Your hands formed and shaped me, and now those same hands destroy me.
10:9 Remember that you made me from clay; are you going to crush me back to dust?
10:10 You gave my father strength to beget me; you made me grow in my mother's womb.
10:11 You formed my body with bones and sinews and covered the bones with muscles and skin.
10:12 You have given me life and constant love, and your care has kept me alive.
10:13 But now I know that all that time you were secretly planning to harm me.
10:14 You were watching to see if I would sin, so that you could refuse to forgive me.
10:15 As soon as I sin, I'm in trouble with you, but when I do right, I get no credit. I am miserable and covered with shame.
10:16 If I have any success at all, you hunt me down like a lion; to hurt me you even work miracles.
10:17 You always have some witness against me; your anger toward me grows and grows; you always plan some new attack.
10:18 Why, God, did you let me be born? I should have died before anyone saw me.
10:19 To go from the womb straight to the grave would have been as good as never existing.
10:20 Isn't my life almost over? Leave me alone! Let me enjoy the time I have left.
10:21 I am going soon and will never come back— going to a land that is dark and gloomy,
10:22 a land of darkness, shadows, and confusion, where the light itself is darkness.
