How long do You not look away from me, nor leave me alone till I swallow my saliva?
Are not my days few? Then cease! Leave me alone, so that I brighten up a little,
Look away from him and let him rest, till like a hired man he enjoys his day.
He does not allow me to recover my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
“Look away from me, That I might brighten up, Before I go away and am no more.”
And my being has been greatly troubled; And You, O יהוה – till when?
יהוה, how long are the wrong, How long are the wrong going to exult?
and they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Master, set-apart and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
