11 I said, “I will not see the Lord,
The Lord (A)in the land of the living;
I will no longer look on mankind among the inhabitants of the world.
12 Like a shepherd’s (B)tent my dwelling is pulled up and removed from me;
As a (C)weaver I (D)rolled up my life.
He (E)cuts me off from the loom;
From (F)day until night You make an end of me.
13 I composed my soul until morning.
(G)Like a lion—so He (H)breaks all my bones,
From (I)day until night You make an end of 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.
