9. His anger teareth and pursueth me; he gnasheth with his teeth against me; as mine adversary he sharpeneth his eyes at me.
10. They gape upon me with their mouth; they smite my cheeks reproachfully; they range themselves together against me.
11. ·God hath delivered me over to the iniquitous man, and hurled me into the hands of the wicked.
12. I was at rest, but he hath shattered me; he hath taken me by the neck and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
13. His arrows encompass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14. He breaketh me with breach upon breach; he runneth upon me like a mighty man.
15. I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and rolled my horn in the dust.
16. My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17. Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18. O earth, cover not my blood, and let there be no place for my cry!
