6That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, And searchest after my sin,

6That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?

6That thou searchest after mine iniquity, and inquirest into my sin;

7Although thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?

7Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.

7Since thou knowest that I am not wicked, and that there is none that delivereth out of thy hand?

8Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

8Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

9Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?

9Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as clay, and wilt bring me into dust again.

10Hast thou not poured me out as milk, And curdled me like cheese?

10Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

10Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

11Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews.

11Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

13Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is with thee:

13And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.

14If I sin, then thou markest me, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

14If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

14If I sinned, thou wouldest mark me, and thou wouldest not acquit me of mine iniquity.

15If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction.

15If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

15If I were wicked, woe unto me! and righteous, I will not lift up my head, being [so] full of shame, and beholding mine affliction; —

16And ifmy head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.

16For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

16And it increaseth: thou huntest me as a fierce lion; and ever again thou shewest thy marvellous power upon me.

17Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me.

17Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.

17Thou renewest thy witnesses before me and increasest thy displeasure against me; successions [of evil] and a time of toil are with me.

18Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.

18Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

18And wherefore didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? I had expired, and no eye had seen me.

19I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

20Are not my days few? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

20Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

20Are not my days few? cease then and let me alone, that I may revive a little,

21Before I go whence I shall not return, Evento the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

21Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

21Before I go, and never to return, — to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

22The land dark as midnight, The landof the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as midnight.

22A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.

22A land of gloom, as darkness itself; of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as thick darkness.
