(Qof) Get up! Cry out in the night when the night watches start! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord! Lift up your hands to him for your children's lives; they are fainting at every street corner.

(Gimel) He has walled me in so that I cannot get out; he has weighted me down with heavy prison chains.

You shrouded yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through.

(Sin/Shin) Rejoice and be glad for now, O people of Edom, who reside in the land of Uz. But the cup of judgment will pass to you also; you will get drunk and take off your clothes.

At the risk of our lives we get our food because robbers lurk in the countryside.
