God

Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the land.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.

For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.

There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.

For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.

My sores are putrefied and corrupted, because of my foolishness.

I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.

I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.

And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.

For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.

For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.

But my enemies live, and are stronger than I: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

For sake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.

Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

¶ Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Unto the end, for Idithun himself, a canticle of David.

I said: I will take heed to my ways: that I sin not with my tongue. I have set a guard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against me.

I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: and my sorrow was renewed.
