He has surrounded me with his lances. He has severely wounded my lower back, he has not been lenient, and he has poured out my organs upon the earth.
He has cut me with wound after wound. He has rushed upon me like a giant.
I have sewn sackcloth over my skin, and I have covered my body with ashes.
My face is swollen from weeping, and my eyelids have dimmed my vision.
These things I have endured without iniquity in my hand, while I held pure prayers before God.
O earth, do not conceal my blood, nor let my outcry find a hiding place in you.
For behold, my witness is in heaven, and my confidante is on high.
