Translation

tested by fire: tried from the earth./ purged seven times./ You lord will preserve us: and keep us / from this generation for ever./ The wicked walk round about: according to your high/ness you have multiplied the children of men./

Psalm 12
How long?
[on book: How long]
HOW LONG/ lord will you forget/ me to the end: how long/ do you turn your face from me./ How long shall I set/ counsels in my soul/ sorrow/ in my heart throughout the day./ How long shall my enemies be exalted/ over me: regard and hear me lord my god./ Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep/ in death: lest sometime my enemy say/ I have prevailed against him./ They who trouble me will rejoice if I am/
