From the commandements of his lips I haue not departed, and I haue hid the words of his mouth in my bosome. For he is alone, and no man can turne away his cogitation: and whatsoeuer his soule would, that hath he done. And when he shal haue fulfilled his wil in me, manie other things also are at hand with him. And therfore I am troubled at his face, and considering him I am made pensiue with feare.
