14. My strength is gonelike water poured out onto the ground.All my bones are out of joint.My heart is like wax.It has melted inside me.
15. My strength has dried up like a piece of a broken pot.My tongue sticks to the top of my mouth.You laid me in the dust of death.
16. Evil men have surrounded me.Like dogs they have trapped me.They have bitten my arms and legs.
17. I can count all my bones.People look and stare at me.
18. They divided my clothes among them,and they threw lots for my clothing.
19. But, Lord, don’t be far away.You are my power. Hurry to help me.
