In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old.

He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.

Also when I call and cry out, He hath shut out my prayer.
9 O jirila nkume a wara awa gbachie ụzọ m niile, o meela ka okporoụzọ m gbagọọ agbagọ.
He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.
10 Dịka anụ ọhịa bịa nke makpu na-eche nche, na dịka ọdụm nke na-ezo onwe ya,
A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.

I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.
15 O meela ka ihe niile na-elu ilu ju m afọ, meekwa ka m ṅụjuo oluilu afọ.
He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me [with] wormwood.
16 O meela ka m jiri okwute tajisie eze m, o kponyekwala m ntụ nʼọnụ m.
And He breaketh with gravel my teeth, He hath covered me with ashes.
17 Enweghị m udo, echezọkwaala m ihe ọganihu bụ.
And Thou castest off from peace my soul, I have forgotten prosperity.
18 Nʼihi ya, ana m ekwu, “Ịma mma m ọbụla adịghịkwa. Agaghị m enwetakwa ihe ndị ahụ m lere anya na m ga-esi nʼaka Onyenwe anyị nweta.”
And I say, Perished hath my strength and my hope from Jehovah.

For the Lord doth not cast off to the age.

For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to the abundance of His kindness.
33 Nʼihi na ọ naghị elezi anya eweta ahụhụ, maọbụ mee ka ụmụ mmadụ nọọ na mmekpa ahụ.
For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.
