Everything Is Against Him

“Behold, (A)I cry, ‘Violence!’ but I get no answer;
I shout for help, but there is no justice.
He has (B)blocked my way so that I cannot pass,
And He has put (C)darkness on my paths.
He has (D)stripped my honor from me
And removed the (E)crown from my head.
10 He (F)breaks me down on every side, and I am gone;
And He has uprooted my (G)hope (H)like a tree.
11 He has also (I)kindled His anger against me
And (J)considered me as His enemy.
12 His (K)troops come together
And (L)build up their [a]way against me
And camp around my tent.

And build up their road against me;
