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.

verse 17 My bones I may them number all; they looked, they did me view. verse 18 My clothes among them they did part; lo•s for my coat they threw. verse 19 But thou Lord, be not far; my strength haste thou to succour me. verse 20 My soul from sword, my darling from the power of dogs set free.
