8He has fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass; And He has set darkness in my paths. 9He has stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head. He breaks me down on every side, And I am gone; My hope He has uprooted like a tree. 11He has also kindled His wrath against me, And He counts me as one of His enemies. 12His troops come together And build up their road against me; They encamp all around my tent.
