He was a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in secret places. He has turned my ways aside and torn me in pieces. He made me desolate. He has bent His bow and set me as a mark for the arrow. He has caused the arrows of His quiver to enter into my inward parts. I was a mockery to all my people, their song all the day. He has filled me with bitterness and made me drunk with wormwood.

Remember my affliction and my wandering, as wormwood and bitterness. My soul vividly remembers and bows down on me.
