12 Lord, you will give us peace. For all our works have been wrought for us by you.
13 O Lord our God, other lords have possessed us apart from you, but in you alone let us remember your name.
14 Let not the dead live; let not the giants rise up again. For this reason, you have visited and destroyed them, and you have perished all remembrance of them.
15 You have been lenient to the people, O Lord, lenient to the people. But have you been glorified? You have removed all the limits of the earth.
16 Lord, they have sought you in anguish. Your doctrine was with them, amid the tribulation of murmuring.
17 Like a woman who has conceived and is approaching the time for delivery, who, in anguish, cries out in her pains, so have we become before your face, O Lord.
18 We have conceived, and it is as if we were in labor, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought forth salvation on the earth. For this reason, the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
