Lamentations 3:1-3
The Message

God Locked Me Up in Deep Darkness

3 1-3 I’m the man who has seen trouble,
    trouble coming from the lash of God’s anger.
He took me by the hand and walked me
    into pitch-black darkness.
Yes, he’s given me the back of his hand
    over and over and over again.

2 He has driven me away and made me walk
    in darkness(C) rather than light;

    again and again, all day long.
