3. And beat me again and again with merciless blows.
4. He has left my flesh open and raw, and has broken my bones.
5. He has shut me in a prison of misery and anguish.
6. He has forced me to live in the stagnant darkness of death.
7. He has bound me in chains; I am a prisoner with no hope of escape.
8. I cry aloud for help, but God refuses to listen;
9. I stagger as I walk; stone walls block me wherever I turn.
