to have
set
with the
dogs
of my
flock.

whereto

of the

my

up
against me the
ways
of their
destruction.

mar
my
path,
they set
forward
my
calamity
*

helper

came
upon me as a
wide
breaking
in of waters:
in
the
desolation
they
rolled
themselves upon me.

are
turned
upon me: they
pursue
my
soul
as the
wind:
and my
welfare
passeth
away
as a
cloud.

soul
is poured
out
upon me; the
days
of
affliction

bones

in me in the night
season:

sinews

mire,

cry
unto thee, and thou dost not
hear
me: I stand
up
, and thou
regardest
me not.

become
cruel
to me: with thy
strong
hand
thou
opposest
thyself against me.

up
to the
wind;
thou causest me to
ride
upon it, and
dissolvest
my
substance

bring
me to
death,
and to the

? was not my
soul
grieved
for the

for
good,

evil
came
unto me: and when I
waited
for
light,
there
came
darkness.

bowels
boiled
, and
rested
not: the
days
of
affliction
prevented
me.

went
mourning
without the
sun:

to
owls

skin
is
black
upon me, and my
bones
are
burned
with
heat.

harp
also is turned to
mourning,
and my
organ
into the
voice
of them that
weep
.
