10:1 “I am weary <05354> of my life <05315>; I will complain <05800> without restraint <07879>; I will speak <01696> in the bitterness <04751> of my soul <05315>. 10:2 I will say <0559> to <0413> God <0433>, ‘Do not <0408> condemn <07561> me; tell <03045> me why <04100> you are contending <07378> with me.’ 10:3 Is it good <02896> for <03588> you to oppress <06231>, to despise <03988> the work <03018> of your hands <03709>, while you smile <03313> on <05921> the schemes <06098> of the wicked <07563>? 10:4 “Do you have eyes <05869> of flesh <01320>, or <0518> do you see <07200> as a human <0582> being sees <07200>? 10:5 Are your days <03117> like the days <03117> of a mortal <0582>, or <0518> your years <08141> like the years <03117> of a mortal <01397>, 10:6 that <03588> you must search out <01245> my iniquity <05771>, and inquire <01875> about my sin <02403>, 10:7 although you know <01847> that <03588> I am not <03808> guilty <07561>, and that there is no one <0369> who can deliver out <05337> of your hand <03027>? 10:8 “Your hands <03027> have shaped <06087> me and made <06213> me, but now you destroy <01104> me completely. 10:9 Remember <02142> that <03588> you have made <06213> me as with <0413> the clay <02563>; will you return <07725> me to dust <06083>? 10:10 Did you not <03808> pour <05413> me out <05413> like milk <02461>, and curdle <07087> me like cheese <01385>? 10:11 You clothed <03847> me with skin <05785> and flesh <01320> and knit me together with bones <06106> and sinews <01517>. 10:12 You gave <06213> me <05978> life <02416> and favor <02617>, and your intervention <06486> watched over <08104> my spirit <07307>. 10:13 “But these things <0428> you have concealed <06845> in your heart <03824>; I know <03045> that <03588> this <02063> is with <05973> you: 10:14 If <0518> I sinned <02398>, then you would watch <08104> me and you would not <03808> acquit <05352> me of my iniquity <05771>. 10:15 If <0518> I am guilty <07561>, woe <0480> to me, and if I am innocent <06663>, I cannot <03808> lift <05375> my head <07218>; I am full <07646> of shame <07036>, and satiated <07200> with my affliction <06040>.

• [Job 10:8] Sing, My Soul, To God Who Made Thee

  Sing, my soul, to God Who made thee, Raise to Heav’n thy grateful voice; All His creatures, singing, bid thee In His goodness now rejoice. Pure and holy love unbounded Fills His tender heart and kind; All who truly serve Him find Rest, by God’s strong arm surrounded. Refrain Heaven and earth may not endure, But God’s love is ever sure. E’en the Son He loved so dearly, Died that we through Him might live, Was e’er love like His, who merely Lived His life in love to give? Holy Spirit, teach and guide me, Fill my heart with loving faith; Faith can break the power of death, Naught I fear with Thee beside me. Refrain When I sleep His care surrounds me, With new strength and youth imbues; His unbounded grace confounds me, Each new morn His love renews. In sore trial and temptation He, my Savior, still is near, Bids me, “Child do thou not fear, Thou shalt yet see My salvation.” Refrain
