CLV(i)
10 I, yea, I say:In the height of my days am I going into the gates of the unseen, made to miss the rest of my years."
11 Said I:I shall not see the salvation of Yah. Yah is in the land of the living. And I shall not look for the salvation of Israel on the earth, I shall not look on humanity further. When I am with the dwellers of transience I leave off looking."
12 My generation journeys and is deported from me as the tent of a shepherd. I snap as a weaver the thread of my life. From the thrum is He clipping me. From day unto night are You causing me to repay.
13 I compensate till the morning. As a lion, so is He breaking all my bones. From day unto night are You causing me to repay."
14 As a speeding swallow, so am I chirping. I am cooing as a dove. Impoverished are my eyes to see to the height of the heavens, to Yahweh. Extortion is for me. Be surety for me!"
