And the disheartened to put them to death.

And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.

And it came into his inward parts like water

And like oil into his bones.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:19 -

Let it be to him as a garment with which he wraps himself,

And for a belt with which he constantly girds himself.
