You have put loved one and companion far from me, Darkness is my close friend!
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness.
Lover and friend have You put far from me; my familiar friends are darkness and the grave.
You’ve made my loved ones and companions distant. My only friend is darkness.
For you are the glory of their virtue, and in your goodness, our horn will be exalted.
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.
All the nations surrounded me, In the Name of יהוה I shall cut them off.
They surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; In the Name of יהוה shall I cut them off.
I am a reproach among all my adversaries, But most of all among my neighbours, And a dread to my friends; Those who see me outside flee from me.
My loved ones and my friends stand back from my plague, And my neighbours stand far away.
You have put away my friends far from me; You have made me an abomination to them; I am shut in and do not go out;
