1 I Am the miserable man, Selected by my [righteous] God To see days of calamity, And feel his [wrath and] chastening Rod.
2 He hath me led and brought into The [dismal] darkness of the night; He doth deny my grieved soul The comforts of the [pleasant] light.
3 Surely against me he is turned, [All day] his hand wrings out my groans;
3 Surely against me he is turn'd, [All day] his hand wrings out my groans;
4 My wasted flesh, my skin made old, By [tiring] pain he breaks my bones.
