Sirach 51:7-9
Common English Bible
7 People surrounded me on every side,
and no one helped;
I looked for assistance from human beings, and there was none.
8 Then I remembered your mercy, Lord,
and your charity[a] from long ago,
that you raise up those who wait for you
and save them from the hands
of the wicked.
9 I sent up my prayer from the earth,
and I begged to be rescued from death.
