3. He has turned his powerful hand against me. He has done it again and again, all day long.
4. He has worn my body out. He has broken my bones.
5. He has surrounded me and attacked me. He has made me suffer bitterly. He has made things hard for me.
6. He has made me live in darkness like those who are dead and gone.
7. He has built walls around me. I can't escape. He has put heavy chains on me.
8. I call out and cry for help. But he won't listen to me when I pray.
9. He has put up a stone wall to block my way. He has made my paths crooked.
10. He has been like a bear waiting to attack me. He has been like a lion hiding in the bushes.
11. He has dragged me off the path. He has torn me to pieces. And he has left me helpless.
12. He has gotten his bow ready to use. He has shot his arrows at me.
13. The arrows from his bag have gone through my heart.
14. My people laugh at me all the time. They sing and make fun of me all day long.
15. The Lord has made my life bitter. He has made me suffer bitterly.
16. He made me chew stones that broke my teeth. He has walked all over me in the dust.
17. I have lost all hope of ever having any peace. I've forgotten what good times are like.
