4

"For the  aarrowsh2671 of the Almightyh7706b are withinh5973 me,  1Their  bpoisonh2534 my spirith7307 drinksh8354; The  cterrorsh1161 of Godh433 are arrayedh6186a against me.

"Does the  awildh6501 donkeyh6501 brayh5101 overh5921 his grassh1877, Orh518 does the oxh7794 lowh1600 overh5921 his fodderh1098?

10

"But it is stillh5750 my consolationh5165, And I rejoiceh5539 in unsparingh3808h2550 painh2430b, That I  ahave not  1deniedh3582 the wordsh561 of the Holyh6918 Oneh6918.

11

"Whath4100 is my strengthh3581b, that I should waith3176? And whath4100 is my endh7093, that I should  1 aendureh748h5315?

15

"My brothersh251 have actedh898  adeceitfullyh898 likeh3644 a  1wadih5158a, Like the torrentsh650 of  1wadish5158a which vanishh5674a,
