  1. 15so that my soul chooses strangling,

    Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
  3. 17What is man, that you should magnify him,
    that you should set your mind on him,
  4. 18that you should visit him every morning,
    and test him every moment?
  5. 19How long will you not look away from me,
    nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
