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.
12 He strung His bow and set me as the target for His arrow.
13 He pierced my kidneyswith His arrows.
14 I am a laughingstock to all my people, mocked by their songs all day long.
