7 “Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response;

though I call for help, there is no justice.

8 He has blocked my way so I cannot pass;

he has shrouded my paths in darkness.

7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard:

I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.

8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass,

And he hath set darkness in my paths.

7 “I cry out, ‘Help!’ but no one answers me.

I protest, but there is no justice.

8 God has blocked my way so I cannot move.

He has plunged my path into darkness.

7 “If I cry out concerning wrong, I am not heard.

If I cry aloud, there is no justice.

8 He has fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass;

And He has set darkness in my paths.

7 “I shout, ‘I have been wronged!’

But I get no answer.

I scream for help

but I get no justice.

8 God has blocked my way so I cannot pass;

he has covered my paths with darkness.

7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard:

I cry for help, but there is no justice.

8 He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass,

And hath set darkness in my paths.

7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.

8 He hath hedged up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

7 Indeed, I cry, ‘Help! I’m being attacked!’ but I get no response. 

I call for help, but there is no justice. 

8 “God has blocked my path so that I can’t go on. 

He has made my paths dark. 

7 I cry out: “Violence!” but get no response;

I call for help, but there is no justice.

8 He has blocked my way so that I cannot pass through;

He has veiled my paths with darkness.

7 Even when I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I am not answered;

I call aloud, but there is no justice.

8 He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass,

and he has set darkness upon my paths.

7 “Look, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered;

I cry out, but there is no justice.

8 He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass;

and he has set darkness upon my paths.

7 “I cry out, ‘Someone harmed me!’

But I don’t get any reply.

I call out for help.

But I’m not treated fairly.

8 God has blocked my way, and I can’t get through.

He has made my paths so dark I can’t see where I’m going.

7 “Behold, I cry, ‘Violence!’ but I get no answer;

I shout for help, but there is no justice.

8 “He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass,

And He has put darkness on my paths.
