6. In darkness he has let me dwell like the dead of long ago.
7. He has built a wall around me, I cannot go out; he has made my bronze fetters heavy.
8. Though I cry out for help, he shuts out my prayers.
9. He has blocked my ways with dressed stones; he has made my paths crooked.
10. To me he is like a bear lying in wait, a lion in hiding.
11. He has forsaken my way and torn me to pieces; he has caused me desolation.
12. He has bent his bow and set me as the target for the arrow.
