MSTC(i)
1 {Aleph} I am the man, that, through the rod of his wrath, have experience of misery.
2 He drove me forth, and led me: Yea, into darkness, but not in to light.
3 Against me only he turneth his hand, and layeth it ever upon me.
4 {Beth} My flesh and my skin hath he made old, my bones hath he bruised.
5 He hath builded round about me, and closed me in with gall and travail.
6 He hath set me in darkness, as they that be dead forever.
7 {Gimel} He hath so hedged me in, that I cannot get out; and hath laid heavy links upon me.
8 Though I cry and call piteously, yet heareth he not my prayer.
9 He hath stopped up my ways with four square stones, and made my paths crooked.
10 {Daleth} He layeth wait for me like a Bear, and as a lion in a hole.
11 He hath marred my ways, and broken me in pieces: he hath laid me waste altogether.
12 He hath bent his bow, and made me as it were a mark to shoot at.
13 {He} The arrows of his quiver hath he shot, even into my reins.
14 I am laughed to scorn of all my people; they make songs upon me all the day long.
15 He hath filled me with bitterness, and given me wormwood to drink.
16 {Vav} He hath smitten my teeth in pieces, and rolled me in the dust.
17 He hath put my soul out of rest; I forget all good things.
18 I thought in myself, "I am undone; there is no hope for me in the LORD."
19 {Zayin} O remember yet my misery and my trouble; the wormwood and the gall.
20 Yea, thou shalt remember them, for my soul melteth away in me.
