11     I thought: That’s it. I will never again see the Eternal in the land of the living.
        I will never again enjoy the company of those alive in this world.
12     My time on earth is folded up and packed away like a shepherd’s tent.
        It’s as if a weaver has snipped me off from the loom and rolled me up.
        From day to night You bring my life to an end.
13     I stay calm until morning arrives,
        then like a lion He breaks all my bones.
        From day to night You bring my life to an end.

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.
