Passage אַךְ בִּי יָשֻׁב יַהֲפֹךְ יָדוֹ כָּל־הַיּוֹם׃ בִּלָּה בְשָׂרִי וְעוֹרִי שִׁבַּר עַצְמוֹתָי׃ בָּנָה עָלַי וַיַּקַּף רֹאשׁ וּתְלָאָה׃ בְּמַחֲשַׁכִּים הוֹשִׁיבַנִי כְּמֵתֵי עוֹלָם׃ גָּדַר בַּעֲדִי וְלֹא אֵצֵא הִכְבִּיד נְחָשְׁתִּי׃ גַּם כִּי אֶזְעַק וַאֲשַׁוֵּעַ שָׂתַם תְּפִלָּתִי׃ גָּדַר דְּרָכַי בְּגָזִית נְתִיבֹתַי עִוָּה׃ דֹּב אֹרֵב הוּא לִי אַרְיֵה בְּמִסְתָּרִים׃ דְּרָכַי סוֹרֵר וַיְפַשְּׁחֵנִי שָׂמַנִי שֹׁמֵם׃ דָּרַךְ קַשְׁתּוֹ וַיַּצִּיבֵנִי כַּמַּטָּרָא לַחֵץ׃ הֵבִיא בְּכִלְיוֹתָי בְּנֵי אַשְׁפָּתוֹ׃ הָיִיתִי שְׂחֹק לְכָל־עַמִּי נְגִינָתָם כָּל־הַיּוֹם׃ הִשְׂבִּיעַנִי

אֱמוּנָתֶךָ׃ חֶלְקִי יְהוָה אָמְרָה נַפְשִׁי עַל־כֵּן אוֹחִיל לוֹ׃ טוֹב יְהוָה לְקֹוָו לְנֶפֶשׁ תִּדְרְשֶׁנּוּ׃ טוֹב וְיָחִיל וְדוּמָם לִתְשׁוּעַת יְהוָה׃ טוֹב לַגֶּבֶר כִּי־יִשָּׂא עֹל בִּנְעוּרָיו׃

light. Upon me alone He turns back, and all the day He sets His hand against me. My flesh and skin He has caused to waste; my bones He shattered. Round me He raised a siege-wall, of wormwood and of hardship. In darkness He seated me down, like those forever dead. He hemmed me about – no escape; the bronze that binds me He made heavy. Even as I cry aloud for rescue – my prayer He has shut off. With hewn stone He barred my way and rendered my paths crooked. A bear He is, lying in wait for me, a lion concealed. He diverts my paths from me, slashes me, leaves me desolate. His bow He has bent and set me standing, the mark of His arrow. The load of His quiver He has driven into my very marrow. Of all my people I am the laughing-stock, their mocking song all the day. With bitterness He has filled me, and with wormwood He has quenched me. My teeth He crushed in grit, my head He drove into the ashes. Peacefulness my soul refuses – what goodness is, I have forgotten. I said, "Lost is my endurance, and my hope, of the LORD." Call to mind my affliction and wandering, wormwood, venom. Hold, hold in mind, my soul, bowed low. This I answer to my heart; and thus I wait by: The LORD's kindness – it has not ended; His compassion has not departed. With each new morning it is new, so great is His faithfulness. I said to myself, Mine is the LORD; and therefore I shall yet wait for Him. Good is the LORD to those who hope; to souls that seek Him out. Good it is to hope, in silence, for the LORD to come, and save. Good it is, for a man, to bear the yoke in his youth. Alone he should sit and be silent: this was inflicted on him. Let him set his teeth into the dust – perhaps there is hope. Let him yield his cheek to the one who beats him. Let him be filled with insult. For the LORD will not reject for all eternity. For if He causes sorrow, He must, in His great kindness, have compassion. Not from His heart's impulse does He oppress, to cause sorrow to man's children, to crush underfoot all this earth's captives; to warp a man's claim before the highest Judgement; to allow a case to be twisted – and the LORD not see it all. Who ever uttered and it was so without the word of the LORD? Do not all evils and good arise from the speech of the Most High? What has a living man to complain; why should he protest his own sins? Let us search out our ways, grasp them, and come back to the LORD. Let us set our hearts in the palms of our hands, and lift them to God in Heaven: "We rebelled and refused You – yet You did not forgive." In rage You covered us and pursued us. You slew, showed no compassion. You wrapped Yourself in
