Their poison my spirit drinks;

Horror

O my God, my soul is in despair within me;
Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan
And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on;
I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.
