« turn thee into me,
and have mercy upon me ;
for i am desolate and afflicted.
the troubles of my heart are enlarged :
O bring thou me out of my distresses.
look upon mine affliction and my pain ;
and forgive all my sins »
(Psalm 25:16-18)
« i am gone
like the shadow
when it declineth »
(Psalm 109:23)
« i am a stranger in the earth »
