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.
7 He has hedged me in so that I cannot get out;He has made my chain heavy.
8 Even when I cry for help,He shuts out my prayer.
9 He has blocked my ways with hewn stone;He has made my paths crooked.
10 He is to me a bear lying in wait,a lion in hiding.
