You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.

The speaker is Heman the Ezrahite, a worship leader whose lament is addressed directly to God. In verses 6 and 7 he has already described his suffering as God's own doing, and here he names another loss: his friends have been taken away, and he has become repulsive to them.
