Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer. He has walled up my ways with hewn stone. He has made my paths crooked. He is to me as a bear laying in wait, as a lion in concealed places. He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate. He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my reins. I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
