7. Behold, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered;I call for help, but there is no justice.
8. He has walled up my way, so that I cannot pass,and he has set darkness upon my paths.
9. He has stripped from me my gloryand taken the crown from my head.
10. He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone,and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.
11. He has kindled his wrath against meand counts me as his adversary.
