⁷ But now, God, you have surely worn me out.
    You have made all my company desolate.
⁸ You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me.
    My leanness rises up against me.
    It testifies to my face.
⁹ He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me.
    He has gnashed on me with his teeth.
    My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
¹⁰ They have gaped on me with their mouth.
    They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully.
    They gather themselves together against me.
¹¹ God delivers me to the ungodly,
    and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
¹² I was at ease, and he broke me apart.
    Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces.
    He has also set me up for his target.
¹³ His archers surround me.
    He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare.
    He pours out my bile on the ground.
¹⁴ He breaks me with breach on breach.
    He runs at me like a giant.
