“I cry out, ‘Someone harmed me!’
    But I don’t get any reply.
I call out for help.
    But I’m not treated fairly.
God has blocked my way, and I can’t get through.
    He has made my paths so dark I can’t see where I’m going.
He has taken my wealth away from me.
    He has stripped me of my honor.
10 He tears me down on every side until I’m gone.
    He pulls up the roots of my hope as if I were a tree.
11 His anger burns against me.
    He thinks I’m one of his enemies.
12 His troops march toward me in force.
    They come at me from every direction.
    They camp around my tent.
