5. He has built up [siege mounds] against me and surrounded me with bitterness, tribulation, and anguish.
6. He has caused me to dwell in dark places like those long dead.
7. He walled me in so that I cannot get out; He has weighted down my chain.
8. Even when I cry and shout for help, He shuts out my prayer.
9. He has enclosed my ways with hewn stone; He has made my paths crooked.
