Lamedh

12 “Is (A)it nothing to all you who pass this way?
Look and see if there is any [a]pain like my [b]pain
Which was dealt severely to me,
Which (B)Yahweh grieved me with on the day of His (C)burning anger.

Mem

13 From on high He sent fire into my (D)bones,
And it dominated them.
He has spread a (E)net for my feet;
He has turned me back;
He has made me (F)desolate,
[c]Faint all day long.

Nun

14 The (G)yoke of my transgressions is bound;
By His hand they are knit together.
They have (H)come upon my neck;
He has made my strength stumble.
The Lord (I)has given me into the hands
Of those against whom I am not able to stand.

    of those I cannot withstand.
