8. Also when I cry and call out, He shutteth out my tefillah.
9. He hath barred my ways with hewn stone, He hath made my paths crooked.
10. He was unto me like a dov (bear) lying in wait, and like an aryeh in mistarim (hiding places).
11. He hath turned aside the darkhei of mine, and pulled me in pieces; He hath made me desolate.
12. He hath bent His keshet, and set me as a target for the khetz (arrow).
