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.
