11 I said, “I shall not see Yah! Yah in the land of the living!
    I shall no more look at humankind among the inhabitants of the world.
12 My dwelling place is pulled up and removed from me like the tent of my shepherd;
    I have rolled up my life like a weaver.
He cuts me off from the thrum;
    from day to night you bring me to an end.
13 I lie down[a] until morning;
    like a lion, so he breaks all my bones;
    from day to night you bring me to an end.
