16 (A)From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise,
    of glory to (B)the Righteous One.
But I say, “I waste away,
    I waste away. Woe is me!

17 (D)Terror and the pit and the snare[a]
    are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!

    shall be caught in the snare.
For (F)the windows of heaven are opened,
    and (G)the foundations of the earth tremble.
