"He has also kindledHis angeragainstme And consideredme as His enemy.
"Whydo You hideYour faceAnd considerme Your enemy?
"Distressand anguishterrifyhim, They overpowerhim like a kingreadyfor the attack,
"His angerhas tornme and huntedme down,He has gnashedat me with His teeth;My adversaryglaresat me.
Behold,He inventspretextsagainstme; He countsme as His enemy.
Howlong,O LORD?Will You hideYourself forever?Will Your wrathburnlikefire?
For we have beenconsumedby Your angerAnd by Your wrathwe have been dismayed.
He has bentHis bowlike an enemy;He has setHis righthandlike an adversaryAnd slainallthat were pleasantto the eye;In the tentof the daughterof ZionHe has pouredout His wrathlike fire.
The Lordhas becomelike an enemy.He has swallowedup Israel;He has swallowedup allits palaces,He has destroyedits strongholdsAnd multipliedin the daughterof JudahMourningand moaning.
For a fireis kindledin My anger,And burnsto the lowestpartof Sheol,And consumesthe earthwith its yield,And setson firethe foundationsof the mountains.
