2 He has led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
3 Surely against me has he turned; he turns his hand against me all the day.
4 My flesh and my skin has he made old: he has broken my bones.
5 He has besieged me, and surrounded me with gall and travail.
6 He has set me in dark places, like they that are long dead.
7 He has hedged me in, that I cannot get out: he has made my chain heavy.
8 Also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.
