5 He has besieged me
And surrounded
me with bitterness and
1 woe.
6 aHe has set me in dark places
Like the dead of long ago.
7 aHe has hedged me in so that I cannot get out;
He has made my chain heavy.
8 Even
awhen I cry and shout,
He shuts out my prayer.
9 He has blocked my ways with hewn stone;
He has made my paths crooked.
10 aHe
has been to me a bear lying in wait,
Like a lion in
1 ambush.
11 He has turned aside my ways and
atorn me in pieces;
He has made me desolate.
