4 Turn back, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: save me for sake of thy mercy. 5 For in death none remembering thee: in hades who shall give thanks to thee?

6 I was wearied with my sighing all the night I shall make my bed to swim with my tears; I shall make my couch to flow. 7 Mine eye fell away from grief; it grew old among all mine enemies.
