The nations, joining all in one, did compass me about: But in the Lord's most holy name I shall them all root out.
For round about me ev'ry day, like water, they did roll; And, gathering together, they have compassed my soul.
And thou hast giv'n to me the necks of all mine enemies; That I might them destroy and slay, who did against me rise.
They cried out, but there was none that would or could them save; Yea, they did cry unto the Lord, but he no answer gave.
My friends thou hast put far from me, and him that did me love; And those that mine acquaintance were to darkness didst remove.
