Sirach 51:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² How thou deliverest them that wait for thee, O Lord, and savest them out of the hands of the nations.

¹³ Thou hast exalted my dwelling place upon the earth and I have prayed for death to pass away.

¹⁴ I called upon the Lord, the father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the day of my trouble, and in the time of the proud without help.
