5 Beth He has built against me and compassed me with gall and travail.
6 Beth He has set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever.
7 Gimel He has hedged me about that I cannot get out; he has made my chain heavy.
8 Gimel Even when I cried and shouted, he shut out my prayer.
9 Gimel He has enclosed my ways with hewn stone; he has made my paths crooked.
10 Daleth He was unto me as a bear lying in wait and as a lion in secret places.
11 Daleth He has made my ways crooked and pulled me in pieces; he has made me desolate.
