Everything Is Against Him

“Behold, (A)I cry, ‘Violence!’ but I get no answer;
I shout for help, but there is no justice.
He has (B)blocked my way so that I cannot pass,
And He has put (C)darkness on my paths.
He has (D)stripped my honor from me
And removed the (E)crown from my head.
10 He (F)breaks me down on every side, and I am gone;
And He has uprooted my (G)hope (H)like a tree.
11 He has also (I)kindled His anger against me
And (J)considered me as His enemy.
12 His (K)troops come together
And (L)build up their [a]way against me
And camp around my tent.

Behold, I (A)cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered;
    I call for help, but there is no justice.
He has (B)walled up my way, so that I cannot pass,
    and he has set darkness upon my paths.
He has (C)stripped from me my glory
    and taken the (D)crown from my head.
10 He breaks me down on every side, and I (E)am gone,
    and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.
11 He has kindled his wrath against me
    and (F)counts me as his adversary.
12 His (G)troops come on together;
    they have (H)cast up their siege ramp[a] against me
    and encamp around my tent.
