11 God has ·taken away my strength [L loosened my bowstring] and ·made me suffer [humiliated me],
    so they ·attack me with all their anger [L have removed all restraint before me].
12 On my right side they rise up like a mob.
    They ·lay traps for my feet [L take my feet out from under me]
    and ·prepare to attack me [L build up paths for my calamity].
13 They ·break [tear] up my road
    and ·work to destroy me [or they profit from my ruin],
    and ·no one helps me [or they need no help].
