verse 9 But thou art he that me out of the belly didst forth take: When I was on my mothers breasts, to hope thou didst me make. verse 10 I from the tender womb have been committed unto thee: Yea from my mothers belly thou hast been a God to me:
(2) verse 11 Be not thou far away from me; for tribulation Approacheth very near at hand, and helper there is none verse 12 Great many bulls on every side have me encompassed: The mighty bulls of Bashan have me round environed:
verse 13 With their wide opened mouths on me they gaping so appear, As if that each a ravening and roaring lion were. verse 14 Like waters I am spilt, my bones disjointed are likewise; Like unto melted wax my heart amidst my bowels lies.
verse 15 My strength is like a potsherd dried, and my tongue cleaveth fast Unto my jaws; and to the dust of death brought me thou hast. verse 16 For dogs have compassed me about th' assembly me beset Of wicked ones, they pierced through my hands and •ke my feet.
