11. Because God has untied my cord and has made me suffer,they are no longer restrained in my presence.
12. They have attacked me on my right side like a mob.They trip my feetand then prepare ways to destroy me.
13. Yes, they remove all traces of my path in order to destroy me.No one is there to help me against them.
14. They come through a wide hole ⌊in the wall⌋.They crawl through the ruins.
15. Terrors are directed toward me.They blow away my dignity like the wind.My prosperity vanishes like a cloud.
16. “Now my life is pouring out of me.Days of suffering seize me.
17. At night God pierces my bones.My body doesn’t rest.
18. With great strength he grabs my clothes.He seizes me by the collar of my robe.
19. He throws me into the dirtso that I become like dust and ashes.
20. “I call to you for help,but you don’t answer me.I stand up, but you just look at me.
21. You have begun to treat me cruelly.With your mighty hand you assault me.
22. You pick me up and let the wind carry me away.You toss me around with a storm.
23. I know you will lead me to death,to the dwelling place appointed for all living beings.
