2 He led and brought me into darkness, not light.
3 He turned his hand against me. He did this again and again, all day.
4 He wore out my flesh and skin. He broke my bones.
5 He built up bitterness and trouble against me. He surrounded me with bitterness and trouble.
6 He put me in the dark, like someone who died long ago.
7 He shut me in, so I could not get out. He put heavy chains on me.
8 Even when I cry out and ask for help, he does not listen to my prayer.
