8 not to see me eye sight eye your in/on/with me and nothing I
The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more; while Thine eyes are upon me, I am gone.
9 to end: expend cloud and to go: went so to go down hell: Sheol not to ascend: rise (Sheol h7585)
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. (Sheol h7585)

He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

14 and to to be dismayed me in/on/with dream and from vision to terrify me
Then Thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions;

So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than these my bones.
16 to reject not to/for forever: enduring to live to cease from me for vanity day my
I loathe it; I shall not live alway; let me alone; for my days are vanity.

What is man, that Thou shouldest magnify him, and that Thou shouldest set Thy heart upon him,
18 and to reckon: visit him to/for morning to/for moment to test him

19 like/as what? not to gaze from me not to slacken me till to swallow up I spittle my
How long wilt Thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
20 to sin what? to work to/for you to watch [the] man to/for what? to set: make me to/for target to/for you and to be upon me to/for burden
If I have sinned, what do I unto Thee, O Thou watcher of men? Why hast Thou set me as a mark for Thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
21 and what? not to lift: forgive transgression my and to pass: bring [obj] iniquity: crime my for now to/for dust to lie down: be dead and to seek me and nothing I
And why dost Thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; and Thou wilt seek me, but I shall not be.
