"Will You neverturnYour gazeaway from me, Norletme aloneuntilI swallowmy spittle?
"Would He not letmy fewdaysalone?Withdrawfrom me that I may havea littlecheer
"TurnYour gazefrom him that he may rest,Untilhe fulfillshis daylike a hiredman.
"He will not allowme to getmy breath,But saturatesme with bitterness.
"TurnYour gazeawayfrom me, that I may smile[again] BeforeI departand am nomore."
And my soulis greatlydismayed;But You, O LORD--howlong?
Howlongshall the wicked,O LORD,Howlongshall the wickedexult?
and they criedout with a loudvoice,saying,"How long,O Lord,holyand true,will You refrainfrom judgingand avengingour bloodon thosewho dwellon the earth?"
