7 “I shout, ‘I have been wronged!’But I get no answer.I call loudly for help,but I receive no justice.
8 God has blocked my way so I cannot pass.He has covered my paths with darkness.
9 He has taken away my honor.He has removed the crown from my head.
10 He beats me down on every side until I am gone.He pulls up my hope as a tree is pulled up by its roots.
11 His anger burns against me.And he treats me as one of his enemies.
12 His armies gather.They prepare a way to attack me.They camp around my tent.
13 “God has made my brothers my enemies.My friends have become complete strangers.
