WithoutH3808 mercyH2550 He splitsH6398 my kidneysH3629 openH6398; He poursH8210 out 18my gallH4845 on the groundH776.14He 19breaksH6555 throughH6555 me with breachH6556 afterH5921H6440 breachH6556; He 20runsH7323 at me like a warriorH1368.15I have sewedH8609 21sackclothH8242 overH5921 my skinH1539 And 22thrustH5953 my hornH7161 in the dustH6083.16My faceH6440 is flushedH2560 from 23weepingH1065, 24And deepH6757 darknessH6757 is on my eyelidsH6079,17AlthoughH5921 there is noH3808 25violenceH2555 in my handsH3709, And 26my prayerH8605 is pureH2134.
18“O earthH776, do not coverH3680 my bloodH1818, And let there be noH408 resting placeH4725 for my cryH2201.19EvenH1571 nowH6258, beholdH2009, 27my witnessH5707 is in heavenH8064, And my 28advocateH7717 is 29on highH4791.20My friendsH7453 are my scoffersH3917; 30My eyeH5869 31weepsH1811 to GodH433.21O that a manH1397 might pleadH3198 with GodH433 As a manH1121H120 with his neighborH7453!22For when a fewH4557 yearsH8141 are pastH857, I shall goH1980 the wayH734 32of noH3808 returnH7725.
