Good News Translation Help
7Human life is like forced army service, like a life of hard manual labor,H6635H582H776H3117H3117H7916 2like a slave longing for cool shade; like a worker waiting to be paid.H5650H7602H6738H7916H6960H6467 3Month after month I have nothing to live for; night after night brings me grief.H5157H3391H7723H5999H3915H4487 4When I lie down to sleep, the hours drag; I toss all night and long for dawn.H7901H559H6965H6153H4059H7646H5076H5399 5My body is full of worms; it is covered with scabs; pus runs out of my sores.H1320H3847H7415H1487H6083H5785H7280H3988 6My days pass by without hope, pass faster than a weaver's shuttle.H3117H7043H708H3615H657H8615 7Remember, O God, my life is only a breath; my happiness has already ended.H2142H2416H7307H5869H7725H7200H2896 8You see me now, but never again. If you look for me, I'll be gone.H5869H7210H7789H5869 9Like a cloud that fades and is gone, we humans die and never return;H6051H3615H3212H3381H7585H5927 10we are forgotten by all who knew us.H7725H1004H4725H5234 11No! I can't be quiet! I am angry and bitter. I have to speak.H2820H6310H1696H6862H7307H7878H4751H5315 12Why do you keep me under guard? Do you think I am a sea monster?H3220H8577H7760H4929 13I lie down and try to rest; I look for relief from my pain.H559H6210H5162H4904H5375H7879 14But you - you terrify me with dreams; you send me visions and nightmaresH2865H2472H1204H2384 15until I would rather be strangled than live in this miserable body.H5315H977H4267H4194H6106 16I give up; I am tired of living. Leave me alone. My life makes no sense.H3988H2421H5769H2308H3117H1892 17Why are people so important to you? Why pay attention to what they do?H582H1431H7896H3820 18You inspect them every morning and test them every minute.H6485H1242H974H7281 19Won't you look away long enough for me to swallow my spit?H4100H8159H7503H1104H7536 20Are you harmed by my sin, you jailer? Why use me for your target practice? Am I so great a burden to you?H2398H6466H5341H120H7760H4645H4853 21Can't you ever forgive my sin? Can't you pardon the wrong I do? Soon I will be in my grave, and I'll be gone when you look for me.H5375H6588H5674H5771H7901H6083H7836
