*
If I called and He answered me ,
I would not believe that He was listening to my voice .
*
For He crushes me with a tempest ,
And multiplies my wounds without cause .
*
He will not allow me to catch my breath ,
But fills me with bitterness .
*
If it is a matter of strength ,
indeed He is strong ;
And if of justice ,
who will appoint my day in court ?
*
Though I were righteous ,
my own mouth would condemn me ;
Though I were blameless ,
it would prove me perverse .
* "
I am blameless ,
yet I do not know myself ;
I despise my life .
*
It is all one thing ;
Therefore I say , "
He destroys the blameless and the wicked .'
*
If the scourge slays suddenly ,
He laughs at the plight of the innocent .
