5 He has laid siege against me, encircling me with bitterness and hardship.
6 He has made me dwell in darknesslike those who have been dead for ages.
7 He has walled me in so I cannot escape; He has weighed me down with chains.
8 Even when I cry out and plead for help,He rejects my prayer.
9 He has walled in my ways with cut stones; He has made my paths crooked.
10 He is a bear waiting in ambush,a lion in hiding.
11 He forced me off my way and tore me to pieces;He left me desolate.
