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.
11 He has forsaken my way and torn me to pieces; he has caused me desolation.
12 He has bent his bow and set me as the target for the arrow.
