6. He has set me in dark placesLike 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 and shout,He shuts out my prayer.
9. He has blocked my ways with hewn stone;He has made my paths crooked.
10. He has been to me a bear lying in wait,Like a lion in ambush.
11. He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces;He has made me desolate.
12. He has bent His bowAnd set me up as a target for the arrow.
13. He has caused the arrows of His quiverTo pierce my loins.
14. I have become the ridicule of all my people—Their taunting song all the day.
