13 I have considered until morning—
Like a lion,
So He breaks all my bones;
From day until night You make an end of me.
14 Like a crane or a swallow, so I chattered;
(A)I mourned like a dove;
My eyes fail from looking upward.
O [a]Lord, I am oppressed;
[b]Undertake for me!

15 “What shall I say?
[c]He has both spoken to me,
And He Himself has done it.
I shall walk carefully all my years
(B)In the bitterness of my soul.
