Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.

Young's Literal Translation

In The King James Version

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

16And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.
