3 - Surely He has turned His hand against me Time and time again throughout the day.
4 - He has aged my flesh and my skin, And broken my bones.
5 - He has besieged me And surrounded me with bitterness and woe.
6 - He has set me in dark places Like the dead of long ago.
7 - He has hedged me in so that I cannot get out; He has made my chain heavy.
8 - Even when I cry and shout, He shuts out my prayer.
9 - He has blocked my ways with hewn stone; He has made my paths crooked.
10 - He has been to me a bear lying in wait, Like a lion in ambush.
11 - He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces; He has made me desolate.
12 - He has bent His bow And set me up as a target for the arrow.
13 - He has caused the arrows of His quiver To pierce my loins.
14 - I have become the ridicule of all my people--Their taunting song all the day.
15 - He has filled me with bitterness, He has made me drink wormwood.
16 - He has also broken my teeth with gravel, And covered me with ashes.
17 - You have moved my soul far from peace; I have forgotten prosperity.
18 - And I said, "My strength and my hope Have perished from the LORD."
19 - Remember my affliction and roaming, The wormwood and the gall.
20 - My soul still remembers And sinks within me.

27 - It is good for a man to bear The yoke in his youth.
28 - Let him sit alone and keep silent, Because God has laid it on him;
29 - Let him put his mouth in the dust--There may yet be hope.
30 - Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him, And be full of reproach.
31 - For the Lord will not cast off forever.
32 - Though He causes grief, Yet He will show compassion According to the multitude of His mercies.
33 - For He does not afflict willingly, Nor grieve the children of men.
34 - To crush under one's feet All the prisoners of the earth,
35 - To turn aside the justice due a man Before the face of the Most High,
36 - Or subvert a man in his cause--The Lord does not approve.
37 - Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, When the Lord has not commanded it?
38 - Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That woe and well-being proceed?
39 - Why should a living man complain, A man for the punishment of his sins?
40 - Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the LORD;
41 - Let us lift our hearts and hands To God in heaven.
42 - We have transgressed and rebelled; You have not pardoned.
43 - You have covered Yourself with anger And pursued us; You have slain and not pitied.
44 - You have covered Yourself with a cloud, That prayer should not pass through.
45 - You have made us an offscouring and refuse In the midst of the peoples.
46 - All our enemies Have opened their mouths against us.
47 - Fear and a snare have come upon us, Desolation and destruction.

60 - You have seen all their vengeance, All their schemes against me.
61 - You have heard their reproach, O LORD, All their schemes against me,
62 - The lips of my enemies And their whispering against me all the day.
63 - Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their taunting song.
