I am the man who has seen affliction
Under the rod of his wrath
He has driven and brought me
Into darkness without any light
Surely against me he turns his hand
Again and again the whole day long
He has made my flesh
And my skin waste away
He has broken my bones
He has besieged and enveloped me
With bitterness and tribulation
He has made me dwell in darkness
Like the dead of long ago
He has walled me about so that I cannot escape
He has made my chains heavy
Though I call and cry for help
He shuts out my prayer
He has blocked my ways with blocks of stones
He has made my paths crooked
He is a bear lying in wait for me
A lion in hiding
He turned aside my steps and tore me to pieces
He has made me desolate
He bent his bow and set me
As a target for his arrow
He drove into my kidneys
The arrows of his quiver
I have become the laughingstock of all peoples
The object of their taunts all day long
He has filled me with bitterness
He has sated me with wormwood
He has made my teeth grind on gravel
And made me cower in ashes
My soul is bereft of peace
I have forgotten what happiness is
So I say My endurance has perished
So has my hope from the Lord
