4 ^aWhen I lie down, I say, ‘When shall I arise,
And the night be ended?’
For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn. ‡

5 My flesh is ^acaked with worms and dust,
My skin is cracked and breaks out afresh. ‡

8 ^aThe eye of him who sees me will see me no more;
While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be. ‡

9 As the cloud disappears and vanishes away,
So ^ahe who goes down to the grave does not come up. ‡
