Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, That thou settest a watch over me?
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, My couch shall ease my complaint;
Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me through visions:
So that my soul chooseth strangling, And death rather than these my bones.
I loathe my life; I would not live alway: Let me alone; for my days are vanity.
What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him, And that thou shouldest set thy mind upon him,
And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, And try him every moment?
