\c 17

\b

|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 1 My spirit is consumed, and my days are over;
|
|||
|
|
\q the grave is ready for me.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 2 Surely there are mockers with me;
|
|||
|
|
\q my eye must always see their provocation.
|
|||
|
|
\b
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 3 Give now a pledge, be a guarantee for me with yourself;
|
|||
|
|
\q who else is there who will help me?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 4 For you, God, have kept their hearts from understanding;
|
|||
|
|
\q therefore, you will not exalt them over me.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 5 He who denounces his friends for a reward,
|
|||
|
|
\q the eyes of his children will fail.
|
|||
|
|
\b
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
\s5
|

|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 6 But he has made me a byword of the people;
|
|||
|
|
\q they spit in my face.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 7 My eye is also dim because of sorrow;
|
|||
|
|
\q all my body parts are as thin as shadows.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 8 Upright men will be stunned by this;
|
|||
|
|
\q the innocent man will stir himself up against godless men.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 9 The righteous man will keep to his way;
|
|||
|
|
\q he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 10 But as for you all, come on now;
|
|||
|
|
\q I will not find a wise man among you.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 11 My days are past, my plans are over,
|
|||
|
|
\q even the wishes of my heart.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 12 These people, these mockers, change the night into day;
|
|||
|
|
\q the light, they say, is near to the darkness.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 13 Since I look at sheol as my home;
|
|||
|
|
\q since I have spread my couch in the darkness;
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 14 since I have said to the pit, ‘You are my father,’
|
|||
|
|
\q and to the worm, ‘You are my mother or my sister,’
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 15 where then is my hope?
|
|||
|
|
\q As for my hope, who can see any?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 16 Will hope go down with me to the gates of sheol
|
|||
|
|
\q when we descend to the dust?”
