Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 7:1 | Is there not a warfare to man on earth? And his days like the days of a hireling? |
| 7:2 | As a servant pants for the shade, and as a hireling looks for his wages, |
| 7:3 | so I am caused to inherit months of vanity; and weary nights are appointed to me. |
| 7:4 | When I lie down, I say, When shall I rise up? But the night is long, and I am full of tossings, until the twilight of the dawn. |
| 7:5 | My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and it runs afresh . |
| 7:6 | My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are ended without hope. |
| 7:7 | Remember that my life is a breath; my eyes shall not return to see good. |
| 7:8 | The eye of him who sees me shall gaze at me no more; Your eyes are on me, and I am not. |
| 7:9 | As the clouds fade and vanish, so he who goes down to Sheol shall not come up. |
| 7:10 | He shall return no more to his house; nor shall his place know him any more. |
| 7:11 | Therefore, I will not hold my mouth; I will speak in the distress of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. |
| 7:12 | Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that You set a watch over me? |
| 7:13 | When I say, My bed shall comfort me my couch shall ease my complaint, |
| 7:14 | then You scare me with dreams, and terrify me with visions; |
| 7:15 | so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than my bones. |
| 7:16 | I despise them ; I will not live always. Let me alone, for my days are vanity. |
| 7:17 | What is man, that You should magnify him, and that You should set Your heart on him, |
| 7:18 | and visit him every morning, trying him every moment? |
| 7:19 | How long will You not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle? |
| 7:20 | I have sinned; what do I do to You, O Watcher of man? Why have You set me as a target for You, so that I am a burden on myself? |
| 7:21 | And why do You not pardon my transgression, and make my iniquity pass away? For now I shall lie down in the dust, and You shall seek me; but I will not be. |
