✧1I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. Copy✧2He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light. Copy✧3Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long. Copy✧4He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones. Copy✧5He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship. Copy✧6He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead. Copy✧7He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy. Copy✧8Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer. Copy✧9He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked. Copy
