For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore are my words broken.
4.
כִּי חִצֵּי שַׁדַּי, עִמָּדִי--אֲשֶׁר חֲמָתָם, שֹׁתָה רוּחִי; בִּעוּתֵי אֱלוֹהַּ יַעַרְכוּנִי.
Ki chitzzei Shadday, 'immadi--asher chamatam, shotah ruchi; bi'utei Eloah ya'ar'chuni.
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof my spirit drinketh up; the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

me'anah lingoa nafshi hemah kidvei lachmi.
My soul refuseth to touch them; they are as the sickness of my flesh.
8.
מִי-יִתֵּן, תָּבוֹא שֶׁאֱלָתִי; וְתִקְוָתִי, יִתֵּן אֱלוֹהַּ.
mi-yiten tavo she'elati vetikvati yiten Eloah.
Oh that I might have my request, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9.
וְיֹאֵל אֱלוֹהַּ, וִידַכְּאֵנִי; יַתֵּר יָדוֹ, וִיבַצְּעֵנִי.
ve'yo'el Eloah, ve'idak'eni; yater yado, ve'yatz'eni.
Even that it would please God to crush me; that He would let loose His hand, and cut me off!

וּתְהִי-עוֹד, נֶחָמָתִי-- וַאֲסַלְּדָה בְחִילָה, לֹא יַחְמוֹל:כִּי-לֹא כִחַדְתִּי, אִמְרֵי קָדוֹשׁ.
u'tehi-od, nechamati-- va'asal'dah ve'chilah, lo yachmol: ki-lo kichadti, imrei kadosh.

im-koach avanim kochi; im-besari nachush.
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13.
הַאִם אֵין עֶזְרָתִי בִי; וְתֻשִׁיָּה, נִדְּחָה מִמֶּנִּי.
ha'im ein ezrati vi; vetushiyah, niddekhah mimenni.
Is it that I have no help in me, and that sound wisdom is driven quite from me?
