3. Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his hand all the day.
4. Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my bones.
5. Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with gall and labour.
6. Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever.
7. Ghimel. He hath built against me round about, that I may not get out: he hath made my fetters heavy.
8. Ghimel. Yea, and when I cry, and entreat, he hath shut out my prayer.
9. Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones, he hath turned my paths upside down.
10. Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in secret places.
11. Daleth. He hath turned aside my paths, and hath broken me in pieces, he hath made me desolate.
12. Daleth. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for his arrows.
13. He. He hath shot into my reins the daughters of his quiver.
14. He. I am made a derision to all my people, their song all the day long.
