6. He has made me dwell in darknesslike those who have been dead for ages.
7. He has walled me in so I cannot escape; He has weighed me down with chains.
8. Even when I cry out and plead for help,He rejects my prayer.
9. He has walled in my ways with cut stones; He has made my paths crooked.
10. He is a bear waiting in ambush,a lion in hiding.
11. He forced me off my way and tore me to pieces;He left me desolate.
12. He strung His bow and set me as the target for His arrow.
13. He pierced my kidneyswith His arrows.
14. I am a laughingstock to all my people, mocked by their songs all day long.
