25. Didn’t I weep for him who was in trouble?Wasn’t my soul grieved for the needy?
26. When I looked for good, then evil came;When I waited for light, there came darkness.
27. My heart is troubled, and doesn’t rest.Days of affliction have come on me.
28. I go mourning without the sun.I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.
29. I am a brother to jackals,and a companion to ostriches.
