For there is none to help.

Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

13 They gaped upon me with their mouths,

As a ravening and a roaring lion.

11 Do not stay so far from me,

for trouble is near,

and no one else can help me.

For trouble is near;

For there is none to help.

Like a raging and roaring lion.

11 So don’t be far away from me.

Now trouble is near,

and there is no one to help.

12 People have surrounded me like angry bulls.

Like the strong bulls of Bashan, they are on every side.

13 Like hungry, roaring lions

they open their mouths at me.

11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near;

For there is none to help.
