11 I said, “I will no longer see the Lord
    in the land of the living.
I will no longer see any of my fellow men
    as I did when I dwelled in the world.
12 “My dwelling has been torn down and thrown away
    like a shepherd’s tent;
like a weaver I have rolled up my life
    and the last thread has been severed.
Day and night I am subject to torment;
13     I cry out for help until the dawn.
All my bones are crushed, as if by a lion;
    day and night I suffer in torment.

    has been pulled down(D) and taken from me.
Like a weaver I have rolled(E) up my life,
    and he has cut me off from the loom;(F)
    day and night(G) you made an end of me.
13 I waited patiently(H) till dawn,
    but like a lion he broke(I) all my bones;(J)
    day and night(K) you made an end of me.
