For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,\par\tab The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up:\par\tab The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early away.
Because of the voice of the enemy,\par\tab Because of the oppression of the wicked;\par\tab For they cast iniquity upon me,\par\tab And in anger they persecute me.
