12 No passerby even cares.[a]
Why doesn't someone notice
    my terrible sufferings?
You were fiercely angry, Lord,
and you punished me
    worst of all.
13 From heaven you sent a fire
    that burned in my bones;
you set a trap for my feet
    and made me turn back.
All day long you leave me
    in shock from constant pain.
14 You have tied my sins
    around my neck,[b]
and they weigh so heavily
    that my strength is gone.
You have put me in the power
    of enemies too strong for me.
