saying:

Naked I came from my mother’s womb,

and naked I will leave this life.[fn]

The LORD gives, and the LORD takes away.

Blessed be the name of the LORD.

and say to corruption, “You are my father,”

and to the maggot, “My mother” or “My sister,”

for from my youth, I raised him as his father,

and since the day I was born[fn] I guided the widow —

It was you who brought me out of the womb,

making me secure at my mother’s breast.

Even if my father and mother abandon me,

the LORD cares for me.

I went about mourning as if for my friend or brother;

like one mourning for a mother.

“You sit, maligning your brother,

slandering your mother’s son.

Indeed, I was guilty when I was born;

I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

I have become a stranger to my brothers

and a foreigner to my mother’s sons

I have leaned on you from birth;

you took me from my mother’s womb.

My praise is always about you.

Let the iniquity of his fathers

be remembered before the LORD,

and do not let his mother’s sin be blotted out.

He gives the childless woman a household,

making her the joyful mother of children.

Hallelujah!

Instead, I have calmed and quieted my soul

like a weaned child with its mother;

my soul is like a weaned child.

For it was you who created my inward parts;[fn]

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
