1. I am a man who has seen the sufferingthat comes from the rod of the Lord’s anger.
2. He led meinto darkness, not light.
3. He turned his hand against meagain and again, all day long.
4. He wore out my flesh and skinand broke my bones.
5. He surrounded me with sadnessand attacked me with grief.
6. He made me sit in the dark,like those who have been dead a long time.
7. He shut me in so I could not get out;he put heavy chains on me.
