7IS THERE not an [appointed] warfare {and} hard labor to man upon earth? And are not his days like the days of a hireling?H6635H582H776H3117H3117H79162As a servant earnestly longs for the shade {and} the evening shadows, and as a hireling who looks for the reward of his work,H5650H7602H6738H7916H6960H64673So am I allotted months of futile [suffering], and [long] nights of misery are appointed to me.H5157H3391H7723H5999H3915H44874When I lie down I say, When shall I arise and the night be gone? And I am full of tossing to and fro till the dawning of the day.H7901H559H6965H6153H4059H7646H5076H53995My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken and has become loathsome, {and} it closes up and breaks out afresh.H1320H3847H7415H1487H6083H5785H7280H39886My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.H3117H7043H708H3615H657H86157Oh, remember that my life is but wind (a puff, a breath, a sob); my eye shall see good no more.H2142H2416H7307H5869H7725H7200H28968The eye of him who sees me shall see me no more; while your eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.H5869H7210H7789H58699As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol (the place of the dead) shall come up no more.H6051H3615H3212H3381H7585H592710He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.H7725H1004H4725H523411Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul [O Lord]!H2820H6310H1696H6862H7307H7878H4751H531512Am I the sea, or the sea monster, that You set a watch over me?H3220H8577H7760H492913When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint,H559H6210H5162H4904H5375H787914Then You scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,H2865H2472H1204H238415So that I would choose strangling {and} death rather than these my bones.H5315H977H4267H4194H610616I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are a breath (futility).H3988H2421H5769H2308H3117H189217What is man that You should magnify him {and} think him important? And that You should set Your mind upon him?H582H1431H7896H382018And that You should visit him every morning and try him every moment?H6485H1242H974H728119How long will Your [plaguing] glance not look away from me, nor You let me alone till I swallow my spittle?H4100H8159H7503H1104H753620If I have sinned, what [harm] have I done You, O You Watcher {and} Keeper of men? Why have You set me as a mark for You, so that I am a burden to myself [and You]?H2398H6466H5341H120H7760H4645H485321And why do You not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; and [even if] You will seek me diligently, [it will be too late, for] I shall not be.H5375H6588H5674H5771H7901H6083H7836
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
