verse 3 Nevertheless thou holy art, who constantly dost dwell Among the thankful praises of thy people Israel▪ verse 4 Our fathers heretofore in thee have put their confidence: They trusted have, and thou to them didst give deliverance.
verse 5 They unto thee did cry aloud, and were preserved sound. In thee they put their confidence, and nought did them confound. verse 6 * But I a worm and not a man, of men a very scorn: And I among the people am despised as forlorn.
