⁶ I am ^(A)utterly bowed down and ^(B)prostrate;
    all the day I ^(C)go about mourning.

²⁸ I ^(A)go about darkened, but not by the sun;
    I stand up in ^(B)the assembly and cry for help.

¹⁴     I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother;
as one who laments his mother,
    I ^(A)bowed down in mourning.

⁹ I say to God, ^(A)my rock:
    “Why have you forgotten me?
^(B)Why do I go mourning
    because of the oppression of the enemy?”

² For you are ^(A)the God in whom I take refuge;
    why have you ^(B)rejected me?
Why do I ^(C)go about mourning
    because of the oppression of the enemy?

¹⁴ The Lord ^(A)upholds all who are falling
    and ^(B)raises up all who are bowed down.

^{9     (A)}my eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O Lord;
    I ^(B)spread out my hands to you.
