13     (A)I calmed myself[a] until morning;
like a lion (B)he breaks all my bones;
    from day to night you bring me to an end.

14 Like (C)a swallow or a crane I chirp;
    (D)I moan like a dove.
(E)My eyes are weary with looking upward.
    O Lord, I am oppressed; (F)be my pledge of safety!
15 What shall I say? For he has spoken to me,
    and he himself has done it.
(G)I walk slowly all my years
    because of the bitterness of my soul.
