Sirach 51:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ They compassed me on each side, and none was that helped (me); I was beholding into (or for) the help of men, and none was. [They compassed me on each side, and there was not that would help; beholding I was to (or for) the help of men, and there was not.]

⁸ Lord, I had mind on thy mercy, and on thy working (al)together, that be from the world; for thou deliverest them that abide thee, and thou deliverest them from the hand(s) of heathen men. [I had mind of thy mercy, Lord, and of thy well working, that from the world be; for thou takest out men sustaining thee, and deliverest them from the hand of Gentiles.]

⁹ Thou enhancedest my dwelling on (the) earth; and I besought for death floating down. [Thou enhancedest upon the earth my dwelling; and from death flowing down I lowly prayed.]
