1. I am a man who has seen the sufferingthat comes from the rod of the Lord’s anger.
2. He led meinto darkness, not light.
3. He turned his hand against meagain and again, all day long.
4. He caused my flesh and skin to wear out.He broke my bones.
5. He surrounded me and attacked mewith sadness and grief.
6. He made me sit in the dark,like someone who has been dead a long time.
7. He shut me in so I could not get out.He put heavy chains on me.
8. I cry out and beg for help.But he ignores my prayer.
9. He has blocked my way with stones.He has made my life difficult.
