8He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; He has veiled my paths with darkness. 9He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head. He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree. 11His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies. 12His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and encamp around my tent.
