My skin hardens and runs.

Thou liftest up me to the wind, thou carriest me away, and the storm maketh me faint;

And the rulers take counsel together
Against the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying,

In his days may the righteous flourish,
And peace abound until the moon is no more.
