11 I thought I would never again
    see you, my Lord,
or any of the people
    who live on this earth.
12 My life was taken from me
like the tent that a shepherd
    pulls up and moves.
You cut me off like thread
    from a weaver's loom;
you make a wreck of me
    day and night.

13 Until morning came, I thought
you would crush my bones
    just like a hungry lion;
both night and day
    you make a wreck of me.[a]
