justice and judgment are the preparation of thy throne. Mercy and truth shall go before thy face:
I am afflicted and ready to die From my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
I was afflicted and close to death from my youth up; while I suffer Your terrors I am distracted [I faint].
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
Since I was young I’ve been afflicted, I’ve been dying. I’ve endured your terrors. I’m lifeless.
Justice and judgment are the preparation of your throne. Mercy and truth will precede your face.
