LITV(i)
1 I, the man, have seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.
2 He led me and made me go in darkness and not light.
3 Surely He turned against me; He turns His hand all the day.
4 He has wasted my flesh and my skin. He has shattered my bones.
5 He built against me and has put around me bitterness and hardship.
6 He has made me live in dark places like the dead of old.
7 He walled around me and I cannot go out; He has made heavy my bronze chain .
8 Also, when I cry out and shout for help, He shuts out my prayer.
9 He walled up my ways with cut stone; my paths are crooked.
10 He was a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in secret places.
11 He has deflected my ways and torn me to pieces; He made me desolate.
12 He has trod His bow and set me up as a mark for the arrow.
13 He caused the sons of His quiver to enter into my inward parts.
14 I was a mockery to all my people, their song all the day.
15 He has filled me with bitterness and made me drunk with wormwood.
16 And He broke my teeth with gravel; He has covered me in the ashes.
17 And You cast off my soul from peace; I have forgotten goodness.
18 And I said, My strength and my hope are gone from Jehovah.
19 Remember my affliction and my roaming, as wormwood and bitterness.
20 My soul vividly remembers and bows down on me.
