16 “And now (A)my soul is poured out [a]within me;
Days of misery have seized me.
17 At night it pierces (B)my bones [b]within me,
And my gnawing pains do not rest.
18 By a great force my garment is (C)distorted;
It ties me up like the collar of my coat.
19 He has thrown me into the (D)mire,
And I have become like dust and ashes.

16 “And now my life seeps away.
    Depression haunts my days.
17 At night my bones are filled with pain,
    which gnaws at me relentlessly.
18 With a strong hand, God grabs my shirt.[a]
    He grips me by the collar of my coat.
19 He has thrown me into the mud.
    I’m nothing more than dust and ashes.
