4 He has worn out my flesh and skin, he has broken my bones.
5 He has besieged and engulfed me with bitterness and hardship.
6 In darkness he has let me dwell like the dead of long ago.
7 He has built a wall around me, I cannot go out; he has made my bronze fetters heavy.
8 Though I cry out for help, he shuts out my prayers.
9 He has blocked my ways with dressed stones; he has made my paths crooked.
10 To me he is like a bear lying in wait, a lion in hiding.
