Sirach 51:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ I remembered thy mercy, O Lord, and thy works, which are from the beginning of the world.

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.
