2. He has driven and brought meinto darkness without any light.
3. Surely against me has He turned His handcontinually, the whole day long.
4. My flesh and my skin He has made waste away;He has broken my bones;
5. He has besieged and enveloped mewith gall and travail.
6. He has set me in dark places,like the dead of long ago.
7. He has hedged me in so that I cannot get out;He has made my chain heavy.
8. Even when I cry for help,He shuts out my prayer.
9. He has blocked my ways with hewn stone;He has made my paths crooked.
10. He is to me a bear lying in wait,a lion in hiding.
