1 I the man seeing affliction by the rod of his wrath. 2 He led me and he brought darkness and not light. 3 Surely he will turn back against me; he will turn his hand all the day. 4 He wasted away my flesh and my skin; he broke my bones. 5 He built against me, and he will surround with poison and distress. 6 He caused me to dwell in darknesses as the dead of old. 7 He walled about me and I shall not go forth: he loaded my brass. 8 Also when I shall exclaim and cry out, he stopped my prayer. 9 He walled up my ways with hewn stones, he made crooked my beaten paths.
