“Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard.
    I cry for help, but there is no justice.
He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass,
    and has set darkness in my paths.
He has stripped me of my glory,
    and taken the crown from my head.
10 He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone.
    He has plucked my hope up like a tree.
11 He has also kindled his wrath against me.
    He counts me among his adversaries.
12 His troops come on together,
    build a siege ramp against me,
    and encamp around my tent.

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.
