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.
11. He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces;He has made me desolate.
12. He has bent His bowand set me as a target for the arrow.
13. He has caused the arrows of His quiverto pierce my inward parts.
14. I have become the derision of all my people,their mocking song all the day.
15. He has filled me with bitterness,He has sated me with wormwood.
