    their foundation was washed away.

    into ^(B)the pit of destruction;
men of ^(C)blood and treachery
    shall not ^(D)live out half their days.
But I will ^(E)trust in you.

²⁴ “O my God,” ^(A)I say, “take me not away
    in the midst of my days—
^(B)you whose years endure
    throughout all generations!”
