Sirach 51:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And my life was drawing near to hell beneath.

¹⁰ They compassed me on every side, and there was no one that would help me. I looked for the succour of men, and there was none.

¹¹ I remembered thy mercy, O Lord, and thy works, which are from the beginning of the world.
