7 “I shout, ‘I have been wronged!’But I get no answer.I scream for helpbut I get no justice.
8 God has blocked my way so I cannot pass;he has covered my paths with darkness.
9 He has taken away my honorand removed the crown from my head.
10 He beats me down on every side until I am gone;he destroys my hope like a fallen tree.
11 His anger burns against me,and he treats me like an enemy.
12 His armies gather;they prepare to attack me.They camp around my tent.
13 “God has made my brothers my enemies,and my friends have become strangers.
