I was at ease, but He has shattered me; yea, He has also taken hold on my neck and broken me to bits; and He has set me up as a target for Him.
He runs at Him with a stiff neck, with the thick layers of his shields,
God has delivered me to the perverse one; and He has pushed me headlong to the hands of the wicked ones.
For God makes my heart weak, and the Almighty troubles me.
when His lamp shone on my head, when I walked through darkness by His light;
I am not at ease, and I am not at rest; and I am not quiet; yet turmoil comes.
The roar of the lion. and the voice of the lion, and the teeth of the young lions are broken;
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; their fury is drinking my spirit; the terrors of God are set against me.
Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that You set a watch over me?
I have sinned; what do I do to You, O Watcher of man? Why have You set me as a target for You so that I am a burden on myself?
He falls on me me with a tempest, and adds to my wounds without cause;
though You have crushed us in the place of jackals and covered us over with the death-shade.
Surely He turned against me; He turns His hand all the day.
He has wasted my flesh and my skin. He has shattered my bones.
When they took hold of you by your palm, you crushed and tore off all their shoulder. And when they leaned on you, you shattered and made all their loins stand.
And he who falls on this Stone will be broken; but on whomever It falls, It will pulverize him.
who laid down their neck for my soul, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations.
