Look and see if there is any [b]pain like my [c]pain
Which was severely dealt out to me,
Which the (E)Lord inflicted on the day of His (F)fierce anger.
13 “From on high He sent fire into my (G)bones,
And it [d]prevailed over them.
He has spread a (H)net for my feet;
He has turned me back;
He has made me (I)desolate,
[e]Faint all day long.
