“I shout, ‘·I have been wronged [L Violence]!’
    But I get no answer.
I scream for help
    but I get no justice.
God has ·blocked [walled up] my way so I cannot pass;
    he has covered my paths with darkness [Prov. 4:19].
He has ·taken away [stripped off] my ·honor [glory]
    and removed the crown from my head.
10 He beats me down on every side until I am gone;
    he ·destroys [uproots] my hope like a fallen tree.
11 ·His anger burns [L He kindles his anger] against me,
    and he ·treats [or considers] me like an ·enemy [foe].
12 His ·armies [troops] gather;
    they ·prepare to attack [L build up a road against; C a siege ramp] me.
    They camp around my tent.
