Holy Scripture
Psalms 141:7
A church father on this verse
“As the thickness of the earth. Everything thick is near to the earth: and the soul that sins clings to the earth. For the Lord from the beginning made all things thin. By his own fault, therefore, each one is made thick, and is drawn down to the earth. Let us give an example. As a wound in the body, swelling, is thick…”

6I cried unto thee, O Lord, And said, Thou art my hope, My portion in the land of the living.
— Psalms 141:7 —
