5. He has besieged and engulfed me with bitterness and hardship.
6. In darkness he has let me dwell like the dead of long ago.
7. He has built a wall around me, I cannot go out; he has made my bronze fetters heavy.
8. Though I cry out for help, he shuts out my prayers.
9. He has blocked my ways with dressed stones; he has made my paths crooked.
10. To me he is like a bear lying in wait, a lion in hiding.
