My flesh and my skin have been used up by him and my bones broken. He built a wall against me, shutting me in with hardship and bitter sorrow. He kept me in dark places, like those who have been dead a long time. He built a wall around me so that I am unable to go out. He made a heavy chain for me. Even when I send up a cry for help, he shuts out my prayer. He blocked my way with cut stones. He twisted my roadways. He is like a bear waiting for me, like a lion in secret places. He has turned me on one side. I have been pulled to bits and lay desolate. With his bow bent, he made me the target for his arrows. He has let fly his arrows into the inmost parts of my body. I have become the laughingstock of all the peoples. I am their mocking song all the day. He has made my life nothing but pain. He gives me bitterness in full measure.

Remember my trouble and my wandering, the bitterroot and the poison. Remember and bow (bend) (come down to my level) down deep within me.
