13Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in secret.
14And even I--I do praise thee, For thy right hand giveth salvation to thee.

18His bones are tubes of bronze, his members are like bars of iron.

19He is the chief ofGod's ways: he that made him gave him his sword.

21He lieth under lotus-bushes, in the covert of the reed and fen:
22Cover him do shades, <FI>with<Fi> their shadow, Cover him do willows of the brook.
22Lotus-bushes cover him with their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.
