6. I want you to know it was God who did this. He set this trap for me.
7. I shout, ‘He hurt me!’ but get no answer. No one hears my cry for fairness.
8. God has blocked my way to keep me from getting through. He has hidden my path in darkness.
9. He took away my honor. He took the crown from my head.
10. He hits me on every side until I am worn out. He takes away my hope. It is like a tree pulled up by the roots.
11. His anger burns against me. He treats me like an enemy.
12. He sends his army to attack me. They build attack towers around me. They camp around my tent.
13. “God has made my brothers hate me. Those who knew me have become strangers.
14. My relatives have left me. My friends have forgotten me.
