4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me; refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

4 κατενόουν εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ καὶ ἐπέβλεπον, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπιγινώσκων με· ἀπώλετο φυγὴ ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου.	4 κατενόουν εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ καὶ ἐπέβλεπον, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπιγινώσκων με· ἀπώλετο φυγὴ ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου.
