16 “And now my life ebbs away;(A)
    days of suffering grip me.(B)
17 Night pierces my bones;
    my gnawing pains never rest.(C)
18 In his great power(D) God becomes like clothing to me[a];
    he binds me like the neck of my garment.
19 He throws me into the mud,(E)
    and I am reduced to dust and ashes.(F)

20 “I cry out to you,(G) God, but you do not answer;(H)
    I stand up, but you merely look at me.
21 You turn on me ruthlessly;(I)
    with the might of your hand(J) you attack me.(K)
