1 I am the man who has seen afflictionby the rod of His wrath.
2 He has driven and brought meinto darkness without any light.
3 Surely against me has He turned His handcontinually, the whole day long.
4 My flesh and my skin He has made waste away;He has broken my bones;
5 He has besieged and enveloped mewith gall and travail.
6 He has set me in dark places,like the dead of long ago.
