My face is red from my tears, and dark shadows encircle my eyelids,

March around Zion; encircle her; count her towers.

Just as mountains encircle Jerusalem, so the LORD encircles his people, from now to eternity.

You encircle me from back to front, placing your hand upon me.

You are to lay siege against it, build a rampart around it, set a bulwark against it, encircle it with a berm, set up camps against it, and place battering rams around it.
