38:6 I am dazed 1 and completely humiliated; 2
all day long I walk around mourning.
43:2 For you are the God who shelters me. 3
Why do you reject me? 4
Why must I walk around 5 mourning 6
because my enemies oppress me?
88:9 My eyes grow weak because of oppression.
I call out to you, O Lord, all day long;
I spread out my hands in prayer to you. 7
30:26 But when I hoped for good, trouble came;
when I expected light, then darkness came.
30:27 My heart 8 is in turmoil 9 unceasingly; 10
the days of my affliction confront me.
30:28 I go about blackened, 11 but not by the sun;
in the assembly I stand up and cry for help.
30:29 I have become a brother to jackals
and a companion of ostriches. 12
30:30 My skin has turned dark on me; 13
my body 14 is hot with fever. 15
30:31 My harp is used for 16 mourning
and my flute for the sound of weeping.
