9FromH6440 the wickedH7563 thatH2098 oppressH7703 me, from my deadlyH5315 enemiesH341, who compass me aboutH5362.12

10They are inclosedH5462 in their own fatH2459: with their mouthH6310 they speakH1696 proudlyH1348.

11They have now compassedH5437 us in our stepsH838: they have setH7896 their eyesH5869 bowing downH5186 to the earthH776;

12LikeH1825 as a lionH738 that is greedyH3700 of his preyH2963, and as it were a young lionH3715 lurkingH3427 in secret placesH4565.34
