5. he has besieged and enveloped mewith bitterness and tribulation;
6. he has made me dwell in darknesslike the dead of long ago.
7. He has walled me about so that I cannot escape;he has made my chains heavy;
8. though I call and cry for help,he shuts out my prayer;
9. he has blocked my ways with blocks of stones;he has made my paths crooked.
10. He is a bear lying in wait for me,a lion in hiding;
11. he turned aside my steps and tore me to pieces; he has made me desolate;
12. he bent his bow and set meas a target for his arrow.
13. He drove into my kidneys the arrows of his quiver;
14. I have become the laughingstock of all peoples, the object of their taunts all day long.
15. He has filled me with bitterness;he has sated me with wormwood.
16. He has made my teeth grind on gravel,and made me cower in ashes;
