13. Their mouths they open'd wide on me,upon me gape did they,Like to a lion raveningand roaring for his prey.
14. Like water I'm pour'd out, my bonesall out of joint do part:Amidst my bowels, as the wax,so melted is my heart.
15. My strength is like a potsherd dry'd;my tongue it cleaveth fastUnto my jaws; and to the dustof death thou brought me hast.
16. For dogs have compass'd me about:the wicked, that did meetIn their assembly, me inclos'd;they pierc'd my hands and feet.
17. I all my bones may tell; they doupon me look and stare.
18. Upon my vesture lots they cast,and clothes among them share.
19. But be not far, O Lord, my strength;haste to give help to me.
20. From sword my soul, from pow'r of dogsmy darling set thou free.
