When You make His soul (A)an offering for sin,

11 “Therefore I will (A)not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will (B)complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I a sea, or a sea serpent,
That You set a guard over me?

  1. Psalm 22:14 Lit. in the midst of My bowels

11 (A)My days are past,
My purposes are broken off,
Even the [a]thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day;

If I make my bed in the darkness,
14 If I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’
And to the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister,’

Shall we have (D)rest together in the dust?”
