Страница 197 - My heart is disquieted within me, and the fear of death is fallen upon me. 5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and an horrible dread hath overwhelmed me. 6 And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! for then would I flee away, and be at rest.
Страница 536 - God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. The clouds poured out water, the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven, the lightnings lightened the world : the earth trembled and shook.
