5. They are driven out from human company;they shout after them as after a thief.
6. In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell,in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
7. Among the bushes they bray;under the nettles they huddle together.
8. A senseless, a nameless brood,they have been whipped out of the land.
9. “And now I have become their song;I am a byword to them.
10. They abhor me; they keep aloof from me;they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.
11. Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me,they have cast off restraint in my presence.
12. On my right hand the rabble rise;they push away my feet;they cast up against me their ways of destruction.
13. They break up my path;they promote my calamity;they need no one to help them.
14. As through a wide breach they come;amid the crash they roll on.
15. Terrors are turned upon me;my honor is pursued as by the wind,and my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.
16. “And now my soul is poured out within me;days of affliction have taken hold of me.
17. The night racks my bones,and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.
18. With great force my garment is disfigured;it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.
