15 Great fears overwhelm me.They blow my honor away as if by a great wind.My safety disappears like a cloud.
16 “Now my life is almost over.My days are full of suffering.
17 At night my bones ache.Gnawing pains never stop.
18 In his great power God grabs hold of my clothing.He chokes me with the collar of my coat.
19 He throws me into the mud.And I become like dirt and ashes.
20 “I cry out to you, God, but you do not answer.I stand up, but you just look at me.
21 You turn on me without mercy.You attack me with your powerful hand.
