The Morning Psalm

Job 7:2

King James Version

As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
Job 7:2, KJV

Job 7:2 in context

1Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?

2As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:

3So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

4When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
