Your wrath presses against me. Interlude
You have battered me with all your breakers.
You have distanced my acquaintances from me.
You have made me repulsive to them.
I am shut in and I cannot get out.

I call to you, O Lord, every day.
I spread out my hands to you.

You have taken from me my closest friends(C)
    and have made me repulsive to them.
I am confined(D) and cannot escape;(E)
    my eyes(F) are dim with grief.

I call(G) to you, Lord, every day;
    I spread out my hands(H) to you.
