11. He hath turned aside the darkhei of mine, and pulled me in pieces; He hath made me desolate.
12. He hath bent His keshet, and set me as a target for the khetz (arrow).
13. He hath caused the arrows of His quiver to enter into my organs.
14. I was a derision to kol ami; and their [mocking] song kol hayom.
15. He hath filled me with merorim (bitter herbs); He hath made me drunk with suffering.
16. He hath also broken my teeth with gravel, He hath covered me with aphar.
17. And Thou hast removed my nefesh far off from shalom; I forgot tovah (prosperity).
18. And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from Hashem;
19. Remember mine oni (affliction) and my misery, the sorrow and the trouble.
20. My nefesh hath them still in remembrance, and is downcast in me.
21. This I recall to my lev, therefore have I hope:
22. Because of the chasdei Hashem we are not consumed, for His rachamim fail not.
23. They are chadashim every boker; great is Thy faithfulness.
24. Hashem is my chelek, saith my nefesh; therefore in hope will I wait for Him.
