1 My spirit is broken; I am ready to give up. My life is almost gone; the grave is waiting for me.
2 People stand around me and laugh at me. I watch them as they tease and insult me.
3 “God, give me some support. No one else will!
4 You have closed my friends’ minds, and they don’t understand. Please don’t let them win.
5 You know what people say: ‘A man neglects his own children to help his friends.’ But my friends have turned against me.
6 God has made my name a bad word to everyone. People spit in my face.
