1. “My spirit has been broken, my days have been extinguished, graves are for me.
2. Truly, mockeries are with me, and my eye rests on their insults!
3. Please lay down a pledge for me with Yourself. Who would strike hands with me?
4. For You have hidden their heart from understanding, therefore You do not exalt them.
5. He who denounces friends for a share, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6. But He has made me a byword of the people, whereas in former times I was as a drum.
7. And from sorrow my eye has grown dim, and all my members are like shadows.
