1. I am the man who has experienced afflictionfrom the rod of his wrath.
2. He drove me into captivity and made me walk in darkness and not light.
3. He repeatedly attacks me,he turns his hand against me all day long.ב (Bet)
4. He has made my mortal skin waste away;he has broken my bones.
5. He has besieged and surrounded mewith bitter hardship.
6. He has made me reside in deepest darknesslike those who died long ago.ג (Gimel)
7. He has walled me in so that I cannot get out;he has weighted me down with heavy prison chains.
