Is it good to You that You should press down, that You should despise the work of Your hands, and shine on the counsel of the wicked?
Your hands have made me and shaped me, together all around; yet You destroy me.
You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall have a desire to the work of Your hands.
that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
God has delivered me to the perverse; and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
know now that God has overthrown me, and His net has closed on me.
Behold, their good is not in their hand; the wisdom of the wicked is far from me.
Yet He filled their houses with substance; and the wisdom of the wicked is far from me.
As God lives, He has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty has made my soul bitter.
You changed to be cruel to me; with Your mighty hand You assault me.
Did not He who made me in the womb make him? And did not One shape us in the womb?
The Spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Shall a reprover contend with the Almighty? He who reproves God, let him answer it.
Will you also set aside My judgment? Will you condemn Me so that you may be justified?
Behold, God will not cast away the innocent, nor will He help the evildoers,
It is One, therefore I said, He is consuming the perfect and the wicked.
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges; if it is not He, then who is it?
Know that Jehovah, He is God. He has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
Jehovah will perfect His work in me; Your mercy, O Jehovah, endures forever; do not forsake the work of Your own hands.
For Jehovah hears the needy, and does not despise His prisoners.
But now, O Jehovah, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are our Former; and we all are the work of Your hand.
Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing, as to a faithful Creator.
