20 “I cry out to you,(A) God, but you do not answer;(B)
    I stand up, but you merely look at me.
21 You turn on me ruthlessly;(C)
    with the might of your hand(D) you attack me.(E)
22 You snatch me up and drive me before the wind;(F)
    you toss me about in the storm.(G)
23 I know you will bring me down to death,(H)
    to the place appointed for all the living.(I)

24 “Surely no one lays a hand on a broken man(J)
    when he cries for help in his distress.(K)
25 Have I not wept for those in trouble?(L)
    Has not my soul grieved for the poor?(M)
26 Yet when I hoped for good, evil came;
    when I looked for light, then came darkness.(N)

And when I waited for light, then came darkness.
