Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou saidst, Fear not: I, but before God spake a Fear not to his Soul, he was ⟨p. 76⟩afraid to purpose: hear what he saith, vers. 53, 54. They have cut off my life in the Dungeon, and cast a stone upon me; waters flowed over mine head, then I said, I am cut off.
