<p class="poetry">I grind them as fine windblown dust;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">I beat them underfoot<n id="2" /> like clay<n id="3" /> in the streets.p>

<p class="poetry">Into your hand I entrust my life;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">you will rescue<n id="2" /> me, O <sc>Lordsc>, the faithful God.p>
