Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
