11 I said, I do not see Jah -- Jah! In the land of the living, I do not behold man any more, With the inhabitants of the world.

12 My sojourning hath departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd's tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cutteth me off, From day unto night Thou dost end me.

13 I have set [Him] till morning as a lion, So doth He break all my bones, From day unto night Thou dost end me.

11 I said, “I will not again see the Lord himself(A)
    in the land of the living;(B)
no longer will I look on my fellow man,
    or be with those who now dwell in this world.

    has been pulled down(D) and taken from me.
Like a weaver I have rolled(E) up my life,
    and he has cut me off from the loom;(F)
    day and night(G) you made an end of me.
13 I waited patiently(H) till dawn,
    but like a lion he broke(I) all my bones;(J)
    day and night(K) you made an end of me.
