¹⁵ Terrors are turned upon me; They chase mine honor as the wind; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud.

³ Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passeth early away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.

²² I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

⁴ For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

⁴ O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early away.

¹⁵ I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

⁴ My heart is sore pained within me: And the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

⁵ Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me.

²³ For calamity from God is a terror to me, And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing.

¹⁶ And if `my head' exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.

²⁷ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my `sad' countenance, and be of good cheer;

²⁸ I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

¹⁴ Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me through visions:

⁹ As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, So he that goeth down to Sheol shall come up no more.

²⁵ For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.
