³ "Let the day I was born be destroyed,
    and the night it was said, ‘A boy is born!'
⁴ Let that day turn to darkness.
    Don't let God care about it.
    Don't let light shine on it.
⁵ Let darkness and gloom have that day.
    Let a cloud hide it.
    Let thick darkness cover its light.
⁶ Let thick darkness capture that night.
    Don't count it among the days of the year
    or put it in any of the months.
⁷ Let that night be empty,
    with no shout of joy to be heard.
⁸ Let those who curse days curse that day.
    Let them prepare to wake up the sea monster Leviathan.
⁹ Let that day's morning stars never appear;
    let it wait for daylight that never comes.
    Don't let it see the first light of dawn,
¹⁰ because it allowed me to be born
    and did not hide trouble from my eyes.

¹¹ "Why didn't I die as soon as I was born?
    Why didn't I die when I came out of the womb?
¹² Why did my mother's knees receive me,
    and my mother's breasts feed me?
¹³ If they had not been there,
    I would be lying dead in peace;
    I would be asleep and at rest
¹⁴ with kings and wise men of the earth
    who built places for themselves that are now ruined.
¹⁵ I would be asleep with rulers
    who filled their houses with gold and silver.
¹⁶ Why was I not buried like a child born dead,
    like a baby who never saw the light of day?
¹⁷ In the grave the wicked stop making trouble,
    and the weary workers are at rest.
¹⁸ In the grave there is rest for the captives
    who no longer hear the shout of the slave driver.
¹⁹ People great and small are in the grave,
    and the slave is freed from his master.

²⁰ "Why is light given to those in misery?
    Why is life given to those who are so unhappy?
²¹ They want to die, but death does not come.
    They search for death more than for hidden treasure.
²² They are very happy
    when they get to the grave.
²³ They cannot see where they are going.
    God has hidden the road ahead.
²⁴ I make sad sounds as I eat;
    my groans pour out like water.
²⁵ Everything I feared and dreaded
    has happened to me.
²⁶ I have no peace or quietness.
    I have no rest, only trouble."
