Psalm 69:16

“…who live in sin, who “stick fast in the deep mire where no ground is,” whose life is truly a pit, as the Psalm says, “let not the pit shut her mouth upon me”)—if, I say, a man, when Wisdom is begotten in him, thinks of the things that are above, and touches the earth only so much as he needs must, such a man…” — editor's note: Ps. lxix. 16.

““Hearken unto me, O Lord, for sweet is Thy mercy” (ver. 16).” — the author cites it
