JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
17 As for us, our eyes do yet fail for our vain help; in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
18 They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our broad places; our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
19 Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heaven; they chased us upon the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits; of whom we said: 'Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.'
