1
MY SPIRIT is broken, my days are spent (snuffed out); the grave is ready for me.
2
Surely there are mockers and mockery around me, and my eye dwells on their obstinacy, insults, and resistance.
3
Give me a pledge with Yourself [acknowledge my innocence before my death]; who is there that will give security for me?
4
But their hearts [Lord] You have closed to understanding; therefore You will not let them triumph [by giving them a verdict against me].
5
He who denounces his friends [in order to make them] a prey and get a share, the eyes of his children shall fail [to find food].
6
But He has made me a byword among the people, and they spit before my face.
7
My eye has grown dim because of grief, and all my members are [wasted away] like a shadow.
8
Upright men shall be astonished and appalled at this, and the innocent shall stir himself up against the godless and polluted.
9
Yet shall the righteous (those upright and in right standing with God) hold to their ways, and he who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger. [Ps. 24:4.]
10
But as for you, come on again, all of you, though I find not a wise man among you.
11
My days are past, my purposes and plans are frustrated; even the thoughts (desires and possessions) of my heart [are broken off].
12
These [thoughts] extend from the night into the day, [so that] the light is short because of darkness.
13
But if I look to Sheol (the unseen state) as my abode, if I spread my couch in the darkness,
14
If I say to the grave and corruption, You are my father, and to the worm [that feeds on decay], You are my mother and my sister [because I will soon be closest to you],
15
Where then is my hope? And if I have hope, who will see [its fulfillment]?
16
[My hope] shall go down to the bars of Sheol (the unseen state) when once there is rest in the dust.
