5 If indeed you
aexalt
yourselves against me,
And plead my disgrace against me,
6 Know then that
aGod has wronged me,
And has surrounded me with His net.
7 “If I cry out concerning
1 wrong, I am not heard.
If I cry aloud,
there is no justice.
8 aHe has
1 fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass;
And He has set darkness in my paths.
9 aHe has stripped me of my glory,
And taken the crown
from my head.
10 He breaks me down on every side,
And I am gone;
My
ahope He has uprooted like a tree.
11 He has also kindled His wrath against me,
And
aHe counts me as
one of His enemies.
12 His troops come together
And build up their road against me;
They encamp all around my tent.
13 “He
a has removed my brothers far from me,
And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.
14 My relatives have failed,
And my close friends have forgotten me.
