,

and

—

David

the

son

of

Jesse

.

He

,

singing

a

certain

strain

with

prophetic

reference

to

the

true

Christ

,

celebrated

our

God

by

the

Holy

Spirit

,

(

and

)

declared

clearly

all

that

befell

Him

by

the

hands

of

the

Jews

in

His

passion

;

in

which

(

strain

the

Christ

who

humbled

unto

the

Adam

,

calls

upon

God

the

Save

me

O

God

;

for

the

waters

are

come

in

unto

my

soul

.

I

am

sunk

in

the

mire

of

the

abyss

,

”

that

is

to

say

,

in

the

corruption

of

Hades

,

on

account

of

the

transgression

in

paradise

;

and

“

there

is

no

substance

,

”

that

is

,

help

.

“

My

eyes

failed

while

I

hoped

(

or

,

from

my

hoping

)

upon

my

God

;

when

will

He

come

and

save

me

?
