MLV(i)
7 But now he has made me weary. You have made desolate all my company.
8 And you have laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me. And my leanness rises up against me; it testifies to my face.
9 He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me. He has gnashed upon me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes upon me. 10 They have opened wide their mouth upon me. They have struck me upon the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me. 11 God delivers me to the perverse and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his mark. 13 His archers encompass me all around. He splits my reins apart and does not spare. He pours out my gall upon the ground. 14 He breaks me with breach upon breach. He runs upon me like a giant.
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin and have laid my horn in the dust. 16 My face is red with weeping and the shadow of death is on my eyelids, 17 although there is no violence in my hands and my prayer is pure.
