Ben Sira 51:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 So I raised my voice from the grave;
from the gates of Sheol I cried for help.
10 I called out: Lord, you are my Father,
my champion, my savior!
Do not abandon me in time of trouble,
in the midst of storms and dangers.(A)
11 I will always praise your name
and remember you in prayer!
Then the Lord heard my voice,
and listened to my appeal.
